Abstract:
An image forming method includes when an image forming device is in a non-image-forming stage, applying voltages to a surface of a photosensitive element and a surface of a developer element of the image forming device to form an electric field. Applying the voltages includes: forming a first potential difference between the photosensitive element and the developer element in a first stage, and forming a second potential difference between the photosensitive element and the developer element in a second stage. When a developer used by the developer element is a negatively charged developer, a direction of the first potential difference and a direction of the second potential difference are in a direction from the developer element to the photosensitive element. When positively charged, the direction of the first potential difference and the direction of the second potential difference are in a direction from the photosensitive element to the developer element.

Claim (Index 2):
The image forming method according to  claim 1 , wherein:\n when the non-image-forming stage includes one second stage, forming the first potential difference in the first stage is earlier than forming the second potential difference in the second stage, and after the second stage, the image forming device is in an image forming stage, or when the non-image-forming stage includes one second stage, forming the first potential difference in the first stage is later than forming the second potential difference in the second stage, and before the second stage, the image forming device is in the image forming stage.
