Filed: 2006-08-07
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent transfer failure in an image forming apparatus using a transfer roller, the impedance of which greatly varies according to temperature and humidity.  <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus transfers a toner image on the surface of a photoreceptor drum to paper by applying a transfer bias voltage to the transfer roller while nipping the paper between the photoreceptor drum and the transfer roller. When the paper is not nipped between the photoreceptor drum and transfer roller, a printer controller applies a test voltage to the transfer roller, and obtains, through a current detecting section, the value of current flowing during the application of the test voltage. Then, the printer controller calculates a transfer bias voltage by substituting the value of the current into a transfer feedback fraction, and adds an offset voltage value E to the calculated transfer bias voltage only when the value of the current falls in the range of P to Q. The transfer bias voltage thus determined is applied to the transfer roller. The parameters P, Q, and E can be stored by operating the image forming apparatus as required.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
