ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus including an image bearing member that rotates while bearing toner image, a transfer unit including, a transfer member that rotates while contacting to the image bearing member and transfers the toner image on the image bearing member to a recording material, and a toner removing member that rotates while contacting with the transfer member, and collects the toner on the transfer member, a transmission path that transmits drive power for rotating the transfer member and the toner removing member, and a separation/contact unit that rocks the transfer unit and the transmission path integrally around a rotational center of a driving power reception member which is a part of the transmission path and to which the driving power is applied, so that the transfer member is separated from and contacted with the image bearing member.
