ABSTRACT:
In an image forming apparatus, temporary constant voltages are corrected by using three voltage-current data obtained by applying voltages at three levels to a primary transfer roller to detect currents corresponding to the voltages, respectively. A surface potential of a photosensitive drum is detected by a potential sensor by changing an exposure intensity of an exposure device at three levels in a state in which the temporary constant voltage is applied to the primary transfer roller. A constant voltage during image formation is determined by correcting the temporary constant voltage by using three voltage-current data obtained by detecting currents when surfaces different in potential by light exposure pass through a primary transfer portion.
