An image forming apparatus includes a data processing device to process image information, a latent image forming device to form an electrostatic latent image on a surface of a photoconductive element (214) based on image data processed by the data processing device, a latent image providing device to provide a non-image region of the photoconductive element with a latent image, the latent image providing device comprising a non-latent image forming region setting device to set a non-latent image forming region in the non-image region of the photoconductive element (214) where the latent image is not provided, and a developing device (216;217) to develop the electrostatic latent image formed by the latent image forming device and the latent image provided by the latent image providing device (402) with toner. <IMAGE> |
