ABSTRACT:
The image forming apparatus has a photosensitive drum, a charging device for charging the surface of the photosensitive drum, an exposing head for exposing the charged surface to an exposure light in order to form an electrostatic latent image, and a developing device for developing the electrostatic latent image by causing toner adhere to the electrostatic latent image. The developing device includes a developing roller for carrying toner to be supplied to the photosensitive drum, a toner supplying roller for supplying toner to the developing roller, and a blade for shaping toner on the developing roller into a thin toner layer. The developing roller, the toner supplying roller, and the blade are applied with voltages VD, VS, and VB respectively, the voltages VD, VS, and VB being determined depending on surrounding temperature and humidity, and satisfying the relationship of |VB−VD|<|VS−VD|.
