The first pressing member presses against the developer image carrier from a side opposite to a side on which a developer image is held. The transfer member is arranged against the first pressing member through the developer image carrier, the first pressing member and the transfer member being responsive to a first voltage applied therebetween to transfer the developer image from the developer image carrier toward the transfer member. The adherence part adheres the sheet to the developer image carrier upstream the first pressing member in the predetermined direction.
