    摘要: An idle roller on which a dielectric belt is wound is made up of a metal such as aluminum etc., and is used as a charging device. A voltage is applied to this idle roller from a d.c. power source. A sheet of paper is made to pass into and between this grounded idle roller (grounded via the dielectric belt) and the metal roller so that the paper is electrostatically attracted to the dielectric belt. The same d.c. power source which applies a d.c. voltage to the idle roller is connected to a multiple number of transfer rollers so as apply the same d.c. voltage to these transfer rollers.

    摘要: When a grounded conductive roller touches a transfer drum through a transfer material while a voltage is applied to a conductor layer, charges having a polarity opposite to the polarity of the voltage applied to the conductor layer are generated over the transfer material, thereby making it possible to attract the transfer material to the dielectric layer. Since the voltage is applied to the conductor layer, the electrostatic attraction of the transfer material and the toner transfer can be carried out using a single power source. Moreover, since the attraction of the transfer material and the toner transfer are carried out by the charge injection, a lower voltage can be used. Thus, the voltage can be readily controlled while reducing the ozone emission to a relatively low level. Furthermore, since the toner transfer and electrostatic attraction of the transfer material can be carried out using a single power source, the apparatus can be downsized and less expensive. In addition, when a semiconductor layer is made of a solid elastic body, a high-quality transferred toner image can be obtained without image quality deterioration.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus has a photoreceptor drum whereon a toner image is to be formed, a transfer drum for transferring the toner image to a transfer material by making the transfer material contact with the photoreceptor drum, the transfer drum having a dielectric layer, semiconducting layer and conducting layer laminated in this order from a surface which comes into contact with the transfer material, a power source section for applying any voltage to the conducting layer, and a grounded conducting roller which is located in an upstream section in a transfer material transporting direction with respect to a transfer position on a surface of the dielectric layer and comes into contact with the dielectric layer surface through the transfer material. The volume resistivity of the dielectric layer is not lower than 40 percent of the volume resistivity of the semiconducting layer. In this structure, a current component flowing in the circuit is greater than a current component causing the dielectric layer to function as a power source, thereby accumulating charges on the dielectric layer. As a result, stable adhesion of the transfer material to the transfer drum, and improved image quality are achieved.

The cleaning device cleans the secondary transfer member for a predetermined time period T1 during a startup operation after printing is completed normally before subsequent printing. The main body houses the image bearing member, the developing device, the intermediate transfer member, the secondary transfer member, and the cleaning device. At least one of the image bearing member and the developing device constitutes a process cartridge detachably attachable relative to the main body, and in a case in which the process cartridge is installed in the main body, the cleaning device cleans the secondary transfer member for a time period T2 extended from the predetermined time period T1.
