Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of image carriers on each of which an image is formed, a conveyor belt for carrying an image receiving medium, a driving roller on which the conveyor belt is mounted for driving the conveyor belt to convey the image receiving medium and a pressing roller for pressing the conveyor belt against the driving roller. The images formed on the image carriers are transferred seguentially to the image receiving medium conveyed by the conveyor belt. A tensioning member causes the conveyor belt to skid to maintain proper relative positioning of the components.
