Claim 18:
19. A charge eliminating apparatus comprising:
two charge eliminating rollers to which voltages of different potentials are applied respectively, the two charge eliminating rollers performing charge elimination by reducing a charge amount of a recording medium when the recording medium passes through the two charge eliminating rollers;
a peeling member abutted against a surface of one of the two charge eliminating rollers, the peeling member being configured to peel off the recording medium adhering to the one of the two charge eliminating rollers with rotation of the one of the two charge eliminating rollers; and
a controller configured to control rotation of the two charge eliminating rollers,
wherein the controller controls, before controlling the two charge eliminating rollers to perform a forward rotation operation of rotating in a forward rotation direction in which the recording medium passes through between the two charge eliminating rollers and is transported to a subsequent stage, the one of the charge eliminating rollers provided with the peeling member to perform reverse rotation operation of rotating in a reverse rotation direction opposite to the forward rotation direction.
