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 13):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein\n the current supply unit includes a first contact member that supplies current by which the toner image is secondary-transferred from the intermediate transfer belt onto the transfer material, and a second contact member that is provided on a downstream side of the first contact member in the movement direction of the intermediate transfer belt and subjected to application of voltage from a power supply, and toner remaining on the intermediate transfer belt after the toner image is secondary-transferred from the intermediate transfer belt onto the transfer material moves with the intermediate transfer belt, is charged while passing through a position where the second contact member, to which voltage of a polarity opposite to a normal charging polarity of toner is applied from the power supply, abuts against the intermediate transfer belt, and then moves from the intermediate transfer belt to the image carrying member at a position where the image carrying member abuts against the intermediate transfer belt.
