ABSTRACT:
A secondary transfer roller rotates in a first rotation direction during printing, and rotates in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction during a stop of the printing only within a specified range. When an image forming apparatus includes a lubricant supply unit, the secondary transfer roller rotates in the second rotation direction within the range where an amount of movement of a contact surface between the secondary transfer roller and the cleaning member is 3 mm or more and not larger than a distance on the contact surface from a contact part between the secondary transfer roller and the lubricant supply unit to a contact part between the secondary transfer roller and the cleaning member in the second rotation direction.
