Abstract:
An image forming device includes: a conductive roller that abuts an image carrier to rotate; a power supply circuit that applies voltage to the roller; a controller that controls the power supply circuit so as to apply the voltage to the roller over a predetermined detection period in a state in which the image carrier and the roller are rotated; a detection value acquirer that acquires a detection value acquired by the application of the voltage indicating a state of the image carrier in the detection period; and a state detector that detects a state of the image carrier on the basis of a plurality of acquired detection values, wherein a length of the detection period is set to a length at which both the numbers of rotations of the image carrier and the roller from a start of the detection period are integers.
