<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming method capable of preventing an defective image such as black stripes on an image, even in the case of forming the image by an image forming apparatus where a lamp irradiation position by an eraser lamp lies on the upstream side of a toner removing area by a cleaning device in the electrostatic latent image carrier rotating direction. <P>SOLUTION: The lamp irradiation position C by the eraser lamp 24 arranged in order to remove the surface charge of the photoreceptor drum 2a is set on the upstream side of the toner removing area B by the cleaning device 54a arranged in order to remove the toner remaining on the surface of the photoreceptor drum 2a in the rotating direction of the photoreceptor drum 2a, and prior to an image forming operation, the photoreceptor drum 2a is rotated while lighting the eraser lamp 24, and the photoreceptor drum 2a is rotated at least once after the trailing end of the toner image remaining on the surface of the photoreceptor drum 2a passes through the lamp irradiation position B. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
