PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus configured to reduce load to be applied to an edge of a plate-like scraping member having the edge which comes into contact with a peripheral surface of an image holding body to scrape off residue after transfer.SOLUTION: An image holding body rotates, an exposure unit performs exposure, and a developing unit performs development in image forming operation. An image forming apparatus includes a charge control unit which actuates a charging unit during the image forming operation in a first charging mode where the charging unit charges a peripheral surface of the image holding body with a charging voltage formed by superimposing an AC voltage having a first voltage value and a first frequency on a DC voltage, and actuates the charging unit in a second charging mode where the charging unit charges the peripheral surface of the image holding body with a charging voltage formed by superimposing an AC voltage having a second voltage value lower than the first voltage value and a second frequency lower than the first frequency on a DC voltage in non-image forming operation where the image holding body rotates without exposure or development. |
