Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus, comprising: an image bearing member on which a toner image is to be formed; a transfer member configured to transfer the toner image on the image bearing member onto a recording medium; a transfer voltage applying unit configured to apply a target voltage value to the transfer member so that a value of a current flowing through the transfer member reaches a set current value; and a control unit configured to change the set current value to a smaller current value when the target voltage value is larger than a predetermined voltage value at a time of a pre-processing operation before an image formation or at a time of a post-processing operation after the image formation, the control unit configured to control the transfer voltage applying unit so that the transfer voltage applying unit applies a transfer voltage for transferring the toner image on the image bearing member onto the recording medium based on the target voltage value.
