Abstract
Upon occurrence of jamming in an apparatus, an electrification unitceases electrification of a surface of a photosensitive drumand, simultaneously, an exposure unitstarts to expose the entire surface in a width direction to light. Further, a development unitforms a toner adhesion region T on the photosensitive drumand, also, stops a drum motor and a belt motor in such a manner that the toner adhesion region T stops at a transfer nip section N. Thus, it is possible to alleviate a rub between the photosensitive drumand a conveyance beltat the time when jamming is cleared, and to suppress generation of scratches on the photosensitive drumand a surface of the conveyance belt
