Abstract:
An image forming apparatus has an image carrier, an electrifying member, and a charge eliminating device, and eliminates remaining charge on the surface of the image carrier by the charge eliminating device. The charge eliminating device includes a discharge member. The discharge member includes an electro conductive knit fabric knitted in a cylindrical shape using twisted yarn made of twisted metal fibers and a support member having a cylindrical shape and inserted in the electro conductive knit fabric, and is disposed to face the image carrier in a noncontact manner. A magnet member is disposed inside the image carrier within a charge elimination nip width between two tangential lines of an outer circumference surface of the discharge member, the two tangential lines being parallel to a straight line passing through a rotation center of the image carrier and a center axis of the discharge member.

Claim (Index 13):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein\n a full speed mode in which the image carrier is rotated at a predetermined speed for performing an image formation process and a deceleration mode in which the image carrier is rotated at a speed lower than the full speed mode for performing the image formation process are switchable, and the magnet member is set to the first position in the full speed mode, and the magnet member is switched to the second position in the deceleration mode.
