Abstract: An image forming apparatus changes over an electric potential on an image bearing member in response to an attenuation region in which a remaining potential on a developing member is attenuating after a developing bias applied to the developing member has been turned off after completion of an image forming operations. Accordingly, it is possible to mitigate adherence of developer due to a large potential difference between the developing member and the image bearing member.

Abstract: A color image forming apparatus including image forming portions for respective color components of yellow, magenta, cyan, and black. It can be set whether a discriminating function of discriminating whether an original image is a color image or a monochromatic image is used. If the use of the discriminating function is set, a preparatory operation of forming the image in a full-color recording mode is performed before obtaining a result of the discrimination. When the result of the discrimination is monochrome, the image formation in a monochrome recording mode is executed after a shift from the full-color recording mode to the monochrome recording mode. If configured to perform the preparatory operation of forming the image in the monochrome recording mode before obtaining the result of the discrimination, when the result of the discrimination is color, the image formation in the full-color recording mode is executed after a shift from the monochrome recording mode to the full-color recording mode.

The apparatus includes a plurality of modules that respectively correspond to a plurality of operation units, each module including a communication device, a functional block setting device and a functional block connected with a corresponding operation unit. The functional block has a register that holds, in an updateable condition, control values relating to various controls of the corresponding operation unit. Each module is triggered by an operation start signal input to a start terminal of the communication device to start an operation for controlling a corresponding operation unit in accordance with each control value held in the register device.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus capable of reducing a part of a sheet exposed outside the apparatus on standby after finishing printing a first side in both-sided printing. A transfer material P having an image formed on its first side is fed until a part thereof gets exposed outside a full-color printer 1 and is fed to a refeeding path in the full-color printer 1. The transfer material P inverted by a flapper 44 is fed to a standby position to form an image on a second side thereof and is stopped there. In the case where a preparation for forming the image on the second side is not completed, the standby position for having the transfer material P stopped is changed corresponding to length of the inverted transfer material P in a feeding direction.
