ABSTRACT:
A switching element and a protective resistance are connected between a developing roller and a developing bias source. A switching element switches on and off a connection between the developing roller and the developing bias source. A protective resistance is connected to the switching element in series. There is a controller and a bias stabilizer. The controller switches on the switching element when a developing bias voltage is to be applied to the developing roller and switches off the switching element when the developing roller is caused to be in an electrically floating state without applying the developing bias voltage, and which bias stabilizer is disposed between the developing roller and a ground and maintains a predetermined stable voltage only when the switching element is switched on. The structure enables a high-quality image to be formed with a low power consumption.
