Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a photoreceptor and an exposure device. The exposure device is configured to expose a surface of the photoreceptor and to form an electrostatic latent image. The exposure device includes a light source, a polygon mirror and a polygon motor. The light source is configured to emit a beam. The polygon mirror is configured to deflect the beam emitted from the light source. The polygon motor is configured to rotate the polygon mirror. The polygon motor is rotated at least temporarily when an aging mode to remove moisture from the surface of the photoreceptor is executed.

Claim (Index 9):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n a photoreceptor having a surface on which an electrostatic latent image is formed; a static eliminator including a light emitting element configured to emit an elimination light to the surface of the photoreceptor and a limit resistor configured to limit a current flowing through the light emitting element; and a controller configured to execute an aging mode to remove moisture from the surface of the photoreceptor when a predetermined condition is satisfied, wherein an electric power applied to the static eliminator in an execution of the aging mode is set to be larger than an electric power applied to the static eliminator in an execution of a normal printing.
