Abstract:
The invention achieves uniform image quality for every transfer regardless of a moisture content on a surface of a paper sheet when a plurality of transfer processes is to be made on a single paper. A copier ( 1 A) is provided with a optical sensor ( 20 ) which includes at least one light source, illuminates a paper sheet (P) with light, receives the light reflected from the paper sheet (P), and measures the received light intensity. Before each of a plurality of transfer processes, the copier ( 1 A) calculates a moisture content on a surface of the paper sheet (P) from the light intensity measured by the optical sensor ( 20 ), and sets a transfer condition of a transfer device ( 15 ) based on the calculated moisture content on the surface of the paper sheet (P).

Claim (Index 9):
The image forming device according to  claim 1 , wherein a wavelength of the light emitted by the light source is 2,000 nm or shorter.
