Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus comprising: an image carrier on which an electrostatic latent image is formed; a development device developing and visualizing the electrostatic latent image by a toner; a transferring device transferring the toner on the image carrier to a recording sheet; a static eliminating device irradiating the image carrier with a light to eliminate a remained static charge; a cleaning device removing the toner remained on the image carrier; a separating claw arranged between the static eliminating device and image carrier to separate the recording sheet from the image carrier, and a static elimination assisting device radiating a light to a light obstruction area where the light obstruction area is not irradiated with the light emitted from the static eliminating device on the image carrier due to obstruction by the separating claw.
