Abstract:
1. An intermediate transfer device comprising: an intermediate transfer body including a primary transfer portion and a secondary transfer portion which is configured to bear a secondary image formed by transferring a primary image from an image bearing member; a pair of secondary transfer rollers including a secondary transfer roller and a support roller provided in contact with each other via the intermediate transfer body at the secondary transfer portion, the pair of secondary transfer rollers being configured to transfer the secondary image to a recording medium at the secondary transfer portion; a rotational velocity detecting unit that detects rotational velocity of the transfer rotation body when the recording medium is transferred to the secondary transfer portion; and an adjustment device configured to adjust a distance between the pair of the secondary transfer rollers, wherein the distance between the pair of the secondary transfer rollers is adjusted based on a variation amount of the rotational velocity of the transfer rotation body.
