When image forming is performed by a photosensitive drum according to operating conditions corresponding to an image forming mode selected out of a predetermined plurality of candidates, an actual cumulative number of printed sheets Pi is corrected and recorded based on the image forming mode (monochrome mode or color mode; low-temperature and low humidity ambience mode or other ambience mode) selected at the time of each image forming (S7) and an adjustment volume (ko×Pia) of a charging applied voltage Ey is calculated and the charging applied voltage Ey is set based on a corrected cumulative number of printed sheets Pia (S5). As a result, the charging applied voltage Ey to a charging unit is changed according to a cumulative number of printed sheets and at the same time, a pace of change thereof is adjusted based on the image forming mode.
