<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the occurrence of scumming even when the operation and finish of image formation are repeated. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus 1 includes: a photosensitive drum 11; a charging roller 12; a developing roller 17; a toner supply roller 20; a regulating blade 21 for regulating an amount of toner; a charging voltage power source 28 for applying a charging bias to the charging roller 12; a developing voltage power source 29 for applying a developing bias to a developing roller 17; a regulating voltage power source 31 for applying a regulating bias to a regulating blade 21; a supply voltage power source 30 for applying a supply bias to the toner supply roller 20; and a control section 36. Before a predetermined time prior to the finish of the operation of image formation, the control section 36 controls at least one of the regulating voltage power source 31 or supply voltage power source 30, and thereby the amount of toner on the developing roller 17, which has passed through the regulating blade 21, is made to be smaller than that during the operation of image formation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
