摘要:
An image heating apparatus includes a contact-sliding member parallel to a generatrix of a heating roller and brought into contact with the heating roller configured to heat a toner image on a recording material. An inlet space and an outlet space are formed at the upstream and downstream ends, respectively, of a contact area. A cleaning member, provided on the downstream side of the contact area, cleans the surface of the heating roller to remove toner and paper dust from the surface of the heating roller.

An image forming apparatus which forms a toner image, includes: an image carrier which carries the toner image thereon; a transfer section which interposes a transfer member at a transfer nip between the image carrier and the transfer section thereby to transfer the toner image on the image carrier onto the transfer member; a voltage applying member provided downstream of the transfer nip in a moving direction of the transfer member; a power source section which applies a voltage to the voltage applying member; and a control section which controls the voltage applied by the power source section. The control section controls the power source section to apply a prescribed voltage to the voltage applying member so that the prescribed voltage has the same polarity as that of a toner used in the apparatus and the voltage applying member does not carry out a self-discharge to the transfer member.

An image forming apparatus may include a first transfer section for transferring a toner image, formed on an image carrier by utilizing a charging section, an exposing section and a developing section, onto a belt shaped intermediate transfer member; and a second transfer section for transferring the toner image on the intermediate transfer member onto a recording material by applying an electric field between a second transfer roller being provided outside the intermediate transfer member and a backup roller being provided inside the intermediate transfer member, the second transfer roller and the backup roller sandwiching the intermediate recording member and the recording material. The second transfer roller may be grounded and a bias voltage may be applied to the backup roller, and a second charging section for charging a surface of the second transfer roller with a predetermined polarity may be included.
