    摘要: A reading section outputs density information of a gradation pattern image of a recording member. A gradation correction characteristic generation section generates a first gradation correction characteristic f(x). At first image quality adjustment, a detection section detects densities of patch pattern images on an image carrier, and the gradation correction characteristic generation section generates a second gradation correction characteristic g(x). At normal image quality adjustment, the detection section detects densities of patch pattern images on the image carrier, and the gradation correction characteristic generation section generates a second gradation correction characteristic g′(x). A calculation section calculates a difference gradation correction characteristic g″(x) between the gradation correction characteristic g(x) and the second gradation correction characteristic g′(x). An image quality maintaining control section multiplies the difference gradation correction characteristic g″(x) by the first gradation correction characteristic f(x), and adjusts an image quality of an image formed on the recording member.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a photoreceptor and a charging member. The photoreceptor includes a long-shaped raw pipe and a photoconductive layer that covers a center portion of the raw pipe in a longitudinal direction and forms exposed parts at ends of the raw pipe in the longitudinal direction. The charging member is arranged in parallel to the photoreceptor through a gap. The charging member includes a long-shaped conductive support body and a resistance adjustment layer that covers a center portion of the conductive support body in the longitudinal direction, and charges the photoconductive layer. Besides, the charging member includes a gap keeping member and a discharge preventing part. The gap keeping member is provided at a position outwardly spaced from a photoconductive layer opposite area by a specified distance in the longitudinal direction of the conductive support body, contacts the exposed part, and keeps a gap between the resistance adjustment layer and the photoconductive layer. The discharge preventing part covers a separation area between the resistance adjustment layer and the gap keeping member in the longitudinal direction of the conductive support body, and prevents discharge from the exposed part to the separation area.
