ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an image forming apparatus in which, after secondary transferring, secondary transferring residual toner remaining on an intermediate transfer member can be cleaned effectively. A cleaning roller 5g is contacted with an intermediate transfer belt 5a and bias is applied from a power source 5h to the cleaning roller 5g, thereby charging secondary transferring residual toner remaining on the intermediate transfer belt 5a with polarity opposite to normal polarity of toner in a developing means 4. In this case, a rectangular wave of alternate voltage having a duty ratio of 50% or more is used as the bias. Whereby, the secondary transferring residual toner can be charged uniformly, the cleaning ability for the secondary transferring residual toner can be improved.
