Abstract
A plurality of monochrome toner image carriers are respectively opposing to a circulating belt member to transfer each monochrome toner image onto the belt member or a recording medium held on the belt member. Each of a plurality of driving gears rotates one of the monochrome toner image carriers. Each of a plurality of intermediate gears is disposed between adjacent driving gears for transmitting a driving force from a previous driving gear to a subsequent driving gear. A rotation center of each intermediate gear is placed at a position shifted from a line connecting rotation centers of the adjacent driving gears.
