Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus comprising: an amorphous silicon photoconductor drum having a heater provided therein; a charging device; and a rotating member that cleans the surfaces of the amorphous silicon photoconductor drum using titanium oxide particles included in toner particles, wherein the heater is controlled such that the surface temperature of the amorphous silicon photoconductor drum is higher by 4° C. or more than the outdoor temperature, which is in a range of 10 to 40° C., slide friction between the amorphous silicon photoconductor drum and the rotating member is set in a range of 40 to 900 gf/cm, and the average primary particle diameter of the titanium oxide particles is set in a range of 0.005 to 0.25 μm.
