Abstract:
1. A duplex transferring apparatus that transfers a first visual image from a first image carrier onto a first side of a recording medium and a second visual image from a second image carrier onto a second side of the recording medium, to transfer a visual image onto both sides of the recording medium, the duplex transferring apparatus comprising: a first-side reflected-light detector including a second-side reflected-light detector including a transfer-condition setting unit that independently sets a first transfer condition for transferring the first visual image and a second transfer condition for transferring the second visual image, based on a result of detections by the first-side reflected-light detector and the second-side reflected-light detector, wherein the first-side reflected-light detector and the second-side reflected-light detector are arranged in such a manner that the first light-receiving unit is fixed at a position off from an extension line from the second light-emitting unit in an emitting direction of the second light-emitting unit, and the second light-receiving unit is fixed at a position off from an extension line from the first light-emitting unit in an emitting direction of the first light-emitting unit.
