PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus which can securely separate a recording material from an image carrier or an intermediate transfer body, and can form an image having good image quality. SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus having a transfer area where a toner image on an image carrier is transferred on a recording material transported along a transporting path, is equipped with an electric discharge member which separates the recording material which have passed the transfer area from the image carrier, Electrically conductive member is disposed at an upstream position in the transportation direction of the recording material from the electric discharge member. A bias potential application means which applies a bias potential to the electrically conductive member is connected with the electrically conductive member, thereby the electrically conductive member is maintained in a grounded potential state or in a state applied with a bias potential of a proper magnitude.
