ABSTRACT:
A transfer unit including: a transfer belt onto which toner images are formed; a backup roller on which said transfer belt is applied, the metallic surface of said backup roller being coated with a dielectric film; a metallic transfer roller that is disposed opposite to said backup roller across said transfer belt and to which a predetermined transfer voltage is applied, said transfer roller pressing copy paper against said backup roller with said transfer belt placed therebetween so that said toner images formed on said transfer belt are transferred onto said copy paper to be transported between said transfer roller and said transfer belt; and a back plate that is located in the vicinity of said backup roller and that contacts the back surface of said transfer belt, whereby an electric field for transferring a toner image by a low transfer voltage can be created, thereby preventing the transfer belt from dielectric breakdown.
