Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine wear state of a covering layer of a body to be charged having a plurality of covering layers different, at least, in either relative dielectric constant or hardness.  <P>SOLUTION: Even if an image carrier 22 is unevenly worn until the number of cycles of the image carrier 22 reaches a predetermined number from an initial state, only a protection layer 98 is worn, and the saturation charge amount Q of the image carrier 22 is increased nearly in proportion to the number of cycles of the image carrier 22 in accordance with the wear rate and the relative dielectric constant ε1 of the protection layer 98. When and after the number of cycles of the image carrier 22 reaches the predetermined number, the protection layer 98 is nearly completely worn, and whole surface area of the image carrier 22 is a charge transporting layer 96, and then the saturation charge amount Q of the image carrier 22 is increased nearly in proportion to the number of cycles of the image carrier 22 in accordance with the wear rate and the relative dielectric constant ε2 of the charge transporting layer 96. A control unit 62 decides whether or not the protection layer 98 is worn out by a predetermined amount in accordance with relation (inclination) between the change of the saturation charge amount Q and the change of operation amount of the image carrier 22.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
