Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a transport member that transports a continuous medium as a result of a transport surface of the transport member making contact with the continuous medium and a transfer device that is disposed on a downstream side in a direction in which the transport member transports the medium and that transfers an image onto the medium, which extends to the transport member, as a result of a transfer surface of the transfer device making contact with the medium. A moving speed of the transfer surface is lower than a moving speed of the transport surface when the medium is transported.

Claim (Index 16):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 14 , further comprising:\n a fixing device configured to fix, onto the medium, the image that has been transferred to the medium; and a contact-retract control unit, wherein the transfer device includes a transfer roller and an opposing member facing the transfer roller, wherein the fixing device incudes a heating member and a pressure member, wherein the contact-retract control unit is configured to control the transfer roller and the opposing member to move to corresponding contact positions or corresponding retract positions, and wherein the contact-retract control unit is configured to control the heating member and the pressure member to move to corresponding contact positions or corresponding retract positions.
