ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member for bearing electrostatic images. A developing device develops the electrostatic images on the image bearing member with toner. A transferring device transfers the toner image on the image bearing member to a transfer material. A separating member abutting against the image bearing member separates the transfer material from the image bearing member. A voltage application device applies a voltage to the separating member so as to have a potential between an imaging portion and a nonimaging portion of the image bearing member at an abutting position of the separating member.
