<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus which is not required to provide a special circuit for detecting the disconnection of a separating means. <P>SOLUTION: A point of time going backward as long as a time until a position corresponding to a charger 2 on an image carrier 1 reaches a transfer position after the point when the leading end of a paper reaches the transfer position is regarded as a reference point A, and the operation of the charger 2 is stopped for a prescribed time after the reference point A, and also, a printing processing is performed while setting a current value flowing from a separator 13 to the image carrier 1 larger than an current value flowing from a transfer roller 5 to the image carrier 1 as long as the area of the image carrier 1 facing the charger 2 passes through the transfer position during the prescribed time. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
