An image forming apparatus includes: a voltage generating section for generating one of an AC voltage and a voltage obtained by superposing an AC voltage on a DC voltage; an image carrier; a contact charger for receiving the voltage generated by the voltage generating section and giving a surface potential corresponding to the received voltage to the image carrier by contact; a latent image forming section for forming a latent image by scanning the image carrier with a predetermined scanning period; and a control section for controlling the voltage generating section and the latent image forming section, wherein the control section controls the voltage generating section and the latent image forming section so that a period of an AC component of the voltage generated by the voltage generating section is N times or 1/N times as long as the scanning period, where N is a natural number. <IMAGE> |
