ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus of the type capable of forming a plurality of images in separate areas of an intermediate transfer body is disclosed. When a paper or similar recording medium to which a toner image formed on the intermediate transfer body should be transferred is absent, the transfer of a toner image from the image carrier to the intermediate transfer body is interrupted. At the same time, toner left on the intermediate transfer body is removed by a particular method different from a usual method and capable of enhancing a cleaning ability. The apparatus is therefore capable of fully removing the toner and thereby obviating defective images.
