Abstract
A transfer device () includes a conveyance belt (), a transfer roller (), and a stretch roller (). The conveyance belt () is in contact with an image carrier () that carries a toner image, and conveys a sheet via a contact position with the image carrier (). A voltage having a polarity opposite to a charging polarity of toner that forms the toner image is applied to the transfer roller (), and the transfer roller () transfers the toner image carried by the image carrier () onto the sheet at the contact position. The stretch roller () is in an insulated state, and stretches the conveyance belt () at a separation position in which the sheet is separated from the conveyance belt () and which is downstream of the contact position in a conveyance direction in which the sheet is conveyed by the conveyance belt ().
