Abstract
A transfer-and-transport device includes a substantially annular belt stretchable in a direction of rotation thereof, a transfer roller by which an outer peripheral surface of the belt is pressed against a photoconductor, supporting rollers supporting the belt in a tensed state, and a cleaning member cleaning the outer peripheral surface of the belt. One supporting roller is a driving roller provided, in the direction of rotation of the belt, on an upstream side of the transfer roller. Another supporting roller is a releasing-side roller provided, in the direction of rotation of the belt, on a downstream side of the transfer roller. The cleaning member is in contact with the belt in an area from, in the direction of rotation of the belt, a midpoint of a portion wrapped around the driving roller toward the upstream side to a midpoint of a portion wrapped around the releasing-side roller.
