Abstract
A transfer device includes a transport belt that contacts with a photoreceptor, and transports a recording medium; a transfer roll that transfers the toner image formed on a surface of the photoreceptor to the recording medium while pressing the recording medium to the photoreceptor through the transport belt; an adjusting unit that adjusts a pressing force of the transfer roll against the recording medium; and a controller that controls the adjusting unit so that a first pressing force is stronger than a second pressing force. The first pressing force is the pressing force after the recording medium starts to pass through a transfer position of the transfer roll and is moved by a predetermined distance. The second pressing force is the pressing force when the recording medium starts to pass through the transfer position.
