Image forming apparatus
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a rotatable photosensitive member (drum), a first corona charger, a second corona charger, an image forming portion, a voltage applying portion, a surface potential detecting portion, a controller. The controller determines a condition of voltages applied to the first and second corona chargers during image formation, by setting a first voltage condition for the first corona charger so that the surface potential of the drum is a second potential lower in absolute value than the first potential in a state in which the first corona charger operates, and the second corona charger does not operates, and then by setting a second voltage condition for the second corona charger so that the surface potential of the drum is the first potential in a state in which the first corona charger operates under the first voltage condition, and the second corona charger operates.
