More Information
Summary:An image forming device includes a transfer material carrier unit which absorbs a transfer material onto a transfer material carrier by use of an electrostatic force and carries the transfer material. The image forming device further includes a unit for connecting the transfer material carrier unit with an image forming device main body, a unit for drawing out the transfer material carrier unit from the image forming device main body by releasing the connection to the connecting unit, and a conductive grounding member disposed in the image forming device main body such that it is opposed to the transfer material and there is provided space between the conductive grounding member and the transfer material when the transfer material carrier unit is drawn out. Further, the image forming device is characterized in that when the image forming device main body is grounded, and in the connected condition, there is formed a path for discharging electric charges from the transfer material carrier unit drawing-out unit through the transfer material carrier unit and connecting unit, and, in the connection removed condition, electricity is removed by the conductive grounding member.
