Abstract

See full text

An image forming apparatus includes: a charging member; a transfer member; a setting portion for setting a positive-side discharge start voltage when a positive-side voltage relative to a reference potential is applied to the transfer member after a voltage is applied to the charging member so that a surface of the image bearing member is charged to the reference potential by the charging member and for setting a negative-side discharge start voltage when a negative-side voltage relative to the reference potential is applied to the transfer member after the voltage is applied; a calculating portion for calculating a correction amount for correcting a light portion surface potential, of the image bearing member, calculated by the calculating portion on the basis of the positive-side and negative-side discharge start voltages; and a correcting portion for correcting the light portion surface potential by using the correction amount.
