Abstract:
After primary transfer, in a state where a pressing force of a primary transfer brush is released to separate an intermediate transfer belt from a photosensitive drum, current is impeded to the primary transfer brush. After that, the total current supplied from a secondary transfer roller and a conductive brush is set as a total current whose value is smaller than that of the total current supplied during the primary transfer.

Claim (Index 16):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 15 , wherein\n a plurality of image carrying members are disposed in a movement direction of the intermediate transfer belt, a plurality of abutting members are disposed at positions corresponding to positions of the plurality of image carrying members with the intermediate transfer belt interposed therebetween, and, after the toner image is primary-transferred from each of the plurality of image carrying members onto the intermediate transfer belt by current flowing from the plurality of abutting members to the plurality of image carrying members, in a state where the pressing force of at least one of the plurality of abutting members is released and where the pressing force of at least one of the plurality of abutting members is not released, the toner image is secondary-transferred from the intermediate transfer belt onto the transfer material.
