Abstract:
1. An electro-photographic image forming apparatus preventing toner from scattering, which has a photosensitive medium, and a developing roller being opposite to the photosensitive medium and transporting the toner to the photosensitive medium, comprising: a scattering preventive member being disposed downstream of the developing roller at a predetermined distance from the photosensitive medium, and being applied with a voltage to attach toner to the scattering preventive member; and a controller controlling the voltage that is applied to the scattering preventive member so as to transport the toner attached on the scattering preventive member to the photosensitive medium, wherein a gap between the scattering preventive member and the photosensitive medium is equal to or larger than a gap between the developing roller and the photosensitive medium.
