ABSTRACT:
In an image forming apparatus, a potential deposited on the rear of a transfer body is selected to be zero or of the same polarity as the charge of an image carrier at least at a part of a nip formed for image transfer. In this condition, image transfer conditions allowing a minimum of toner scattering to occur at the time of image transfer are set up against, e.g., a change in the resistance of the transfer body ascribable to aging. Therefore, an image with a minimum of toner scattering is achievable.
