PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus for suppressing the degradation of image quality due to the fluctuations of a resistance value, even when environmental conditions are changed. SOLUTION: In the image forming apparatus 10, when it is in such a state that electric power is applied to each apparatus section of the image forming apparatus 10 during the execution of image formation processing, a processing routine shown by (the Fig.2) is executed for each predetermined time, a supply absorption roll 26 supplies an ion conductive agent or the ion conductive agent is absorbed from a transfer roll 24 to the supply absorption roll 26, so that the transfer roll 24 maintains a previously set reference resistance value, according to environmental temperature and humidity installed in the transfer roll 24. Therefore, the transfer roll 24 keeps a stable reference resistance value, because the transfer roll is not affected by the fluctuations of the environmental temperature and humidity. Thus, transfer irregularities, etc. by the transfer roll 24 are suppressed and the image quality is improved by the image forming apparatus 10. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
