Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image holding body, a transfer member, and a controller. The image holding body holds an image formed of toner. The transfer member is brought into contact with a continuous medium so as to transfer the image held by the image holding body to the continuous medium, and the transfer member is able to be brought into contact with and separated from the image holding body. The controller causes the transfer member to be separated from the image holding body, and after that, causes the image holding body to move so as to detect an inspection image formed on the image holding body, thereby adjusting, as image quality adjustment, a deviation of a position of the image or a deviation of density of the image to be formed.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n an image holding body that holds an image formed of toner; a transfer member that is brought into contact with a continuous medium so as to transfer the image held by the image holding body to the continuous medium and that is able to be brought into contact with and separated from the image holding body; and a controller that causes the transfer member to be separated from the image holding body, and after that, causes the image holding body to move so as to detect an inspection image formed on the image holding body, thereby adjusting, as image quality adjustment, a deviation of a position of the image or a deviation of density of the image to be formed, a fixing device configured to fix an image that has been transferred to the medium onto the medium, wherein the fixing device includes a heating member and a pressure member, wherein the controller controls in such a manner that the transfer member and the image holding body are move to the corresponding contact positions or the corresponding retract positions, wherein the controller unit controls in such a manner that the heating member and the pressure member are move to the corresponding contact positions or the corresponding retract positions, wherein the heating member and the pressure member are contacted or separated in accordance with the contacting or separating of the transfer member and the image holding body even if a controller does not carry out the image quality adjustment operation.
