<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of preventing recording material from being wound round an intermediate transfer body side by destaticizing the recording material after secondary transfer with simple constitution. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus has: a secondary transfer means for secondarily transferring a toner image to the recording material from an intermediate transfer body by applying secondary transfer bias between a secondary transfer roller and the intermediate transfer body by a constant-current control means; a destaticizing member for eliminating the charge of the recording material to which the toner image has been transferred by the secondary transfer means; and a destaticizing voltage applying means for applying the destaticizing voltage to the destaticizing member. In the apparatus, destaticizing bias is controlled according to image information related to the occurrence of winding of the recording material round the intermediate transfer body. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
