PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus which is capable of obtaining a satisfactory image by detecting changes in conveyance height of a transfer material at a downstream position in a conveyance direction of a transfer part to apply an appropriate bias to a static charge eliminator. SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes: a static charge eliminating means which is disposed near a down stream side in a transfer material conveyance direction with respect to a position of toner image transfer from an image carrier to a transfer member and discharges the transfer material; and conveyance height detection means which detects the conveyance height of the transfer material between a transfer means and a heat fixing means. A static charge eliminating bias voltage applied to the static charge eliminating means can be controlled in accordance with the detection result of this detection means. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
