<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that ensures a long lifetime and formation of an image of high image quality by preventing sticking of carrier, damage of a cleaning blade, and so on. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes a condition detecting means for detecting an environmental condition or a printing condition. When judging that the environmental condition or printing condition detected by the condition detecting means matches a predetermined environmental condition or printing condition set in advance, the control means switches the timing of starting a developing roller in relation to the timing of applying a development bias from a first condition to a second condition. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
