ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes: a transferring and conveying body that transfers a nonfused image onto a transfer member and conveys the transfer member; a fusing apparatus that is arranged so as to be distanced from the transferring and conveying body a distance that is shorter than a maximum transfer length and fuses an image on the transfer member; and a transfer member guide that is interposed between the transferring and conveying body and the fusing apparatus and guides the transfer member to thread into a fusing nip region of the fusing apparatus. In such image forming apparatus, the transfer member guide has a guide position changing apparatus that changes the position of the transfer member guide in a direction that a loop of the transfer member is caused when the head end of the transfer member threads into the fusing nip region of the fusing apparatus.
