    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member, a charging member, a development member, a transfer member, a charging voltage application unit, a development voltage application unit, and a control unit. The development member collects toner that remains on a surface of the image bearing member after a toner image is transferred from the image bearing member surface to transfer material. The control unit controls application of a development voltage to apply, to the development member in a cleaning operation, a development voltage having a polarity that is opposite to a normal polarity, and controls application of a charging voltage to apply, to the charging member, a charging voltage having the normal polarity such that a potential difference formed at a charging portion between the applied charging voltage and a surface potential formed at the image bearing member surface is lower than or equal to a discharge start voltage.

    摘要: In an image forming apparatus, a current supply member comes into contact with a belt at a position different from a position of the transfer section in a rotational direction of the belt, and a control unit performs constant current control on the current flowing through the current supply member by setting a predetermined value to a target current value, and can change a first state in which a part of the current supplied to the current supply member flows to a ground side via a constant voltage element, and a second state in which the current supplied to the current supply member does not flow to the ground side via the constant voltage element, by maintaining the constant current control by the predetermined value.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of image forming stations and a control portion configured to control an image forming operation. Each of the image forming stations includes an image bearing member configured to form a toner image on a surface thereof and a charging device configured to charge the image bearing member. The toner images formed on the image bearing members of the image forming stations are sequentially transferred to a transfer incurring member to be superimposed. The control portion sets a voltage applied to the charging device in forming an image in an image forming station which performs the transfer later based on image density information of the toner image transferred to the transfer incurring member by an image forming station which performs the transfer earlier in a sequence of the image forming operations.
