Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a charger, a photoconductor, a charging high-voltage power supply, and circuitry. The charging high-voltage power supply supplies a charging bias to the charger and generates an output value feedback voltage representing a voltage value corresponding to an output current value from the charger to the photoconductor. The circuitry extracts a minimum value of the output value feedback voltage based on the output value feedback voltage generated in a given time. The circuitry calculates a maximum gap value between the charger and the photoconductor based on the minimum value. The circuitry calculates an AC voltage value based on the maximum gap value. The circuitry adds the AC voltage value to a DC voltage value to generate and transmit an output value control signal to the charging high-voltage power supply, to cause the charging high-voltage power supply to adjust the charging bias.

Claim (Index 5):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the circuitry extracts the minimum value, calculates the maximum gap value, and calculates the alternating current voltage value sequentially as a control process.
