ABSTRACT:
In an image forming apparatus, when a transferred material exists in a transfer position between a photoreceptor drum and a transfer unit during an image forming operation, a transfer voltage, which has opposite polarity to that of a voltage applied to a brush charger and is used for transferring a developer image on the photoreceptor drum onto the transferred material is applied to the transfer unit. Meanwhile, when a transferred material does not exist in the transfer position during the image forming operation, a non-transfer voltage, which is lower than the transfer voltage, is applied to the transfer unit. As a result, defects on an image due to returning of a developer from the brush charger to the photoreceptor drum can be prevented from being generated.
