    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive drum, a charging roller, a transfer roller, a first bias application unit, a second bias application unit, and a control unit. The charging roller contains an ion conductive material. The first bias application unit applies a first bias to the charging roller. The second bias application unit applies a predetermined bias to the transfer roller. The control unit controls the first bias application unit not to apply the first bias to the charging roller in a non-image forming period in which a toner image is not formed on the photosensitive drum. The control unit controls the second bias application unit to apply the second bias, which is a bias that can electrically charge the surface of the photosensitive drum, to the transfer roller in the non-image forming period.

    Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, a bias controller varies one, while keeping the other fixed, of a charging alternating-current frequency, which is the frequency of the charging alternating-current voltage, and a developing alternating-current frequency, which is the frequency of the developing alternating-current voltage. Specifically, in a case where interference fringes appear in a developed image due to interference between the charging and developing alternating-current frequencies, when the recognizable minimum pitch of the interference fringes is A1 (mm), the width of the variation region of the other frequency is B1 (Hz), the rotation speed of an image carrying member is C1 (mm/sec), and the variation speed of the other frequency in the variation region is D1 (Hz/sec), the bias controller varies the other frequency at a variation speed D1 that fulfills |D1|>B1/(A1/C1).

    Abstract: A developing device includes a developing roller and a developing magnetic pole. The developing roller is disposed to face an image carrier across a predetermined gap. The developing magnetic pole is provided in the developing roller so as to be displaced between first and second magnetic pole positions. When the developing magnetic pole is at the first magnetic pole position, a magnetic field is generated at a first position in the gap. When the developing magnetic pole is at the second magnetic pole position, a magnetic field is generated at a second position in the gap. When a circumferential speed ratio of the developing roller to the image carrier is increased, the developing magnetic pole is displaced toward the second magnetic pole position, and when the circumferential speed ratio is decreased, the developing magnetic pole is displaced toward the first magnetic pole position.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a photoconductor and an electricity removing member electrically grounded and disposed to be in contact with a surface of the photoconductor. In the image forming apparatus, with regard to a capacitance component of an inner impedance of the electricity removing member and a capacitance component of a contact impedance of the electricity removing member that are calculated from a Cole-Cole plot obtained from measurement by an AC impedance method in a predetermined frequency range, a value obtained by dividing the capacitance component of the contact impedance by the capacitance component of the inner impedance is equal to or lower than a predetermined first specific value, and the capacitance component of the inner impedance is equal to or lower than a predetermined second specific value.

    Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, a resistance component of an inner impedance of an electricity removing member is equal to or lower than a value that is obtained by multiplying a calculated resistance value by a first specific value, the calculated resistance value being calculated based on a predetermined formula as a DC resistance value of the electricity removing member that is required to reduce a pre-electricity-removal potential of a photoconductor to a predetermined post-electricity-removal potential during an electricity removal time, the first specific value being calculated based on a ratio of a linear speed of the electricity removing member to a linear speed of the photoconductor, and a resistance component of the contact impedance of the electricity removing member is equal to or lower than a value that is obtained by multiplying the calculated resistance value by a second specific value that is calculated based on the ratio.

    Abstract: Provided is an image forming apparatus in which, while image formation is prevented from being performed, scattered toner that has dropped from a filter and adhered to an outer peripheral surface of a developer carrying member is recovered. A fixed magnet of the developer carrying member has a first pole that is arranged to face the filter, and a second pole and a third pole on a downstream side relative to the first pole. The first pole and the second pole have polarities opposite to each other, and the second pole and the third pole have a same polarity. A length of a gap between the developing container and an area where the developing sleeve faces the second pole among areas of the developing sleeve is smaller than a length between the developing sleeve and the filter.
