ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes a transport belt for transporting a medium, image forming units for transferring a toner image onto the medium transported by the transport belt, and contacting/separating mechanisms for moving at least one of the transport belt and the image forming units to a contact position where the transport belt and the image forming units contact each other and to a separated position where the transport belt and the image forming units are separated from each other, where the contacting/separating mechanisms move at least one of the transport belt and the image forming units to the contact position and/or the separated position in a state where a transport speed of the transport belt and a transfer speed of the image forming units are approximately the same.
