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 1):
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 configured to 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 a voltage to the transfer member; a voltage detection unit configured to detect the voltage applied to the transfer member from the power supply; a current detection unit configured to detect a current supplied to the transfer member; and 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, in the mode, (i) switching the command value of the voltage applied to the transfer member from a first value corresponding to the transfer voltage applied in a first transfer period for a first recording material to a reference value after the first transfer period before a second transfer period for a second recording material which is following the first recording material, and (ii) switching the command value from the reference value to a second value corresponding to the transfer voltage applied in the second transfer period, in case that a predetermined time has elapsed from switching the command value from the first value to the reference value, and (iii) correcting the command value of the transfer voltage on the basis of detection results which are detected by the voltage detection unit and the current detection unit during the predetermined time.
