Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a release agent application system which enables efficient use of a release agent and enables application of a proper amount of the release agent to an image receiving member while requiring little energy to apply the release agent to the image receiving member.SOLUTION: A release agent application system 200 includes an image receiving member 204, a release agent applicator roller 208, a release agent pad 216, a release agent reservoir 220, and an actuator 224.
