Abstract:
An image forming apparatus including: an image bearing member; a transfer member; a power supply; a conveyance path; a first detection portion; a second detection portion; and a controller configured to control a bias to be applied to the transfer member, wherein the controller controls a voltage to be applied to the transfer member when a first region of a recording material passes through a transfer portion, based on a detection result obtained by detecting the first region of the recording material by the first detection portion and a detection result obtained by detecting a second region of the recording material which is downstream of the first region with respected to a conveying direction of the recording material by the first detection portion, and a detection result detected by the second detection portion at a timing when the second region passes through the transfer portion.

Claim (Index 6):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the controller performs constant current control on the power supply when the second region passes through the transfer portion, and performs constant voltage control on the power supply when the first region passes through the transfer portion.
