Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a photosensitive member; a power supply that applies a bias voltage to the photosensitive member to charge a surface of the photosensitive member; a developer that develops an electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive member; an exposing device that forms the electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive member; a hardware processor; and a memory, wherein the memory stores, in advance, a relationship between a suitable AC voltage at which a discharge amount of AC electric discharge is balanced between positive and negative sides and a current value of a specific AC voltage, and the hardware processor controls the bias voltage in an AC charging type, detects the current value at the specific AC voltage, and determines a setting AC voltage on the basis of the relationship.

Claim (Index 5):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor performs the process of determining the specific AC voltage whenever the charging starts or ends, or during development.
