Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a controller configured to execute a mode for correcting a command value of the transfer voltage during a continuous image forming job of forming an image to a plurality of recording materials. The controller is configured to correct the command value of the transfer voltage on the basis of detection results which are detected by a voltage detection unit and a current detection unit during a predetermined time.

Claim (Index 13):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n a rotatable image bearing member configured to bear a toner image; a transfer member configured to form a transfer nip portion by abutting against the image bearing member, and transfer the toner image on the image bearing member to a recording material by being applied a transfer voltage; a power supply configured to apply the transfer voltage to the transfer member; a voltage detection circuit configured to detect a voltage applied to the transfer member from the power supply; a current detection circuit configured to detect a current supplied to the transfer member; a converter configured to convert analog signals from the voltage detection circuit and the current detection circuit at a first conversion rate to digital signals; and a controller whose conversion rate for converting an analog signal to a digital signal is slower than the first conversion rate, wherein the controller is configured to execute a mode for correcting a command value of the transfer voltage during a continuous image forming job of forming an image to a plurality of recording materials, the controller correcting the command value of the transfer voltage based on digital values which are converted by the converter after a first transfer period for a first recording material before a second transfer period for a second recording material which is following the first recording material.
