Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a charging member, a light source, and a light quantity lowering member. The light quantity lowering member is provided so that a lowering amount of a quantity of a part of light reflected by a surface of a member at each of end portions of a charging region where the surface of the image bearing member is charged by the charging member is larger than that at a portion inside an associated end portion with respect to a rotational axis direction of the image bearing member.

Claim (Index 18):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 17 , further comprising voltage applying means configured to apply a voltage to said transfer member and current value detecting means configured to detect a value of a current flowing during application of the voltage by said voltage applying means,\n wherein said voltage applying means applies the voltage to said transfer member while changing the voltage, and said current value detecting means detects the value of the current corresponding to the voltage, and wherein the voltage is set on the basis of a detection result of said current value detecting means.
