<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of effectively and continuously preventing the soiling of an LED head due to toner in an electrophotographic image forming apparatus that adopts a cleanerless system. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus A is equipped with a photoreceptor drum 15; an electrifier 16 uniformly charging the surface of the photoreceptor drum 15; an exposure device 17 forming an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the photoreceptor drum 15 by irradiation with an LED 17a; a developing device 18, forming a toner image by developing the electrostatic latent image; and a transfer device 19 transferring the toner image to a recording medium. A conductive member 25, in non-contact with the surface of the photoreceptor drum 15, is provided between the exposure device 17 and the developing device 18, and the ground potential or a potential having polarity reverse to that of the charging polarity of toner (t) is applied to the conductive member 25. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
