Image forming apparatus that prevents toner charged with polarity opposite normal charging polarity from being collected
Abstract:
In a case where a collection mode in which an exposure unit forms a first potential on a photosensitive member and a developing unit collects discharging toner discharged from the developing unit to a position where the first potential is formed is executed, a potential forming unit forms, on an intermediate transfer member, a potential same as a normal charging polarity of toner and an absolute value greater than an absolute value of the first potential, and a charging power supply applies, to a charging member, a voltage having a polarity same as the normal charging polarity and an absolute value greater than an absolute value of the first potential.
