摘要:
In an image forming apparatus, a photosensitive drum 7 is previously charged to have a surface potential by a charger 7. A latent image is formed on the charged photosensitive drum 7 by projecting an optical image thereon. The latent image is developed by a developer which is charged in the developing unit and supplied from the developing unit 18. The developed latent image is transferred to and fixed on a paper. Environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure around the photosensitive drum are detected by temperature, humidity and pressure detectors, and image densities of the image on the photosensitive drum are detected by a density sensor. The surface potential of the drum and the charge amount of developer are charged and controlled in accordance with the image densities and the environmental conditions, so that a high quality image is formed on the paper even if environmental conditions are changed.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member, a transfer member, an acquiring portion, an applying portion, and a controller. When a transfer voltage is subjected to constant-voltage control so that the transfer voltage applied to the transfer member by the applying portion is substantially constant, in a case that the transfer voltage, when a toner amount used for a toner image is a first toner amount, is a first voltage, the controller controls the applying portion so that the transfer voltage is a second voltage smaller lower in absolute value than the first voltage in a case that the toner amount is a second toner amount larger greater than the first toner amount. The acquiring portion acquires toner amount information on the toner amount for each toner image transferred onto a single recording material.
