ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes a development unit, a transfer member, and a blade member. The development unit develops a latent image on an image bearing member and forms a toner image. The transfer member transfers the toner image on the image bearing member to a transfer material. The blade member is brought into contact with and separated from the image bearing member, and the blade member removes remaining transfer toner which is not transferred to the transfer material but remains on the image bearing member. An abutting control unit causes the blade member in a separated state to abut onto the image bearing member during a time starting after a front end of the remaining transfer toner passes through the abutting region and ending when a rear end of the remaining transfer toner has passed through the abutting region.
