PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to properly charge a peripheral surface of a image carrier through a charging roller after suppressing the development of discharged products on the periphery of the image carrier. SOLUTION: This image forming apparatus has a charging roller 21 which is in contact with the surface of a photoreceptor drum 10 and turns around the axis of the drum 10 following its revolution to charge the surface of the drum 10 with a voltage from a power supply 80 through the charging roller 21. It has a feeder provided electrically in contact with the surface of the charging roller 21 between the roller 21 and the power supply 80. This feeder has a power supply roller 25 which incorporates a heater to heat the charging roller 21 and is applied with a voltage to charge the photoreceptor drum 10 through the charging roller 21. It is constituted so that the voltage is applied to it through the charging roller 21 to charge the photoreceptor drum 10. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
