Original Abstract Submitted
A transfer system includes: a transfer belt that has an endless shape and onto which images held by a plurality of image holding bodies are sequentially transferred; a winding roll around which the transfer belt is wound and that rotates by being driven by the transfer belt revolving; a driving roll around which the transfer belt is wound, that is disposed downstream of the winding roll in a revolution direction of the transfer belt and upstream of a portion of the transfer belt onto which the image is transferred, and that applies a drive force to the transfer belt to cause the transfer belt to revolve; a transfer cylinder that is disposed on a side opposite to the winding roll with the transfer belt interposed therebetween and that transfers, to a recording medium transported, the image on the transfer belt while being rotationally driven; and a braking unit that is disposed downstream of the winding roll in the revolution direction of the transfer belt and upstream of the driving roll and that comes into contact with an inner surface of the transfer belt revolving so that a braking force is applied to the transfer belt.
