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 14):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n a transport member configured to transport a continuous medium; and a transfer device that is disposed on a downstream side of the transport member in a direction in which the transport member transports the medium, wherein the transfer device is configured to transfer an image onto the medium, and wherein the image forming apparatus is configured such that, if transportation of the medium is started, the transport member starts transporting the medium after the transfer device starts transporting the medium.
