ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus having a photoconductor for carrying a toner image; a transfer device, provided with a discharge wire, for transferring the toner image onto a transfer material through discharge in a transfer area, after a transfer material is superposed with the photoconductor; a transfer-exposure device for carrying out light exposure of a surface of the photoconductor superposed with the transfer material, in the transfer area; a separator for separating the transfer material from the photoconductor after the toner image is transferred; and a controller for controlling the image forming apparatus. The controller controls such that light from the transfer-exposure device is applied to the photoconductor surface for the first time when the photoconductor surface superposed with the transfer material has reached the transfer area.
