The light-sensitive layer and the surface protecting layer of the photoreceptor are uniformly heated to a constant temperature. A charging device or a discharging brush or blade is used as a device of discharging the charges of the photoreceptor after the transference.

A reverse bias voltage is applied to a photodiode array provided with a plurality of avalanche photodiodes operated in Geiger mode and with quenching resistors connected in series to the respective avalanche photodiodes. Electric current is measured with change of the reverse bias voltage applied, and the reverse bias voltage at an inflection point in change of electric current measured is determined as a reference voltage. A voltage obtained by adding a predetermined value to the determined reference voltage is determined as a recommended operating voltage.
