ABSTRACT:
A novel image forming apparatus including a seamless belt-shaped moving member positioned adjacent to an image bearing member. Also included is a bias voltage applying roller positioned at a rear face side of the seamless belt-shaped moving member, and a cleaning blade for cleaning a surface of the seamless belt-shaped moving member. Further, a transfer-convey device configured to transfer a toner image on the image bearing member onto a transfer member is included. A toner-line forming device is configured to form a toner-line which is divided into a plurality of toner-line segments when developed, each of which is written to an individual non-image area between successive image areas on the image bearing member and transferred onto the seamless belt-shaped moving member.
