Abstract:
An image forming apparatus including a controller configured to control a first and a second voltage applied to a transfer device when transferring an image to a first and a second side of a recording material, respectively, the controller performing a mode that outputs a test chart on which at least one of a plurality of first test images for adjusting the first voltage and a plurality of second test images for adjusting the second voltage is formed, wherein in a case of forming the second test images on a second side of the test chart, and before forming the second test images, the controller forms a plurality of predetermined toner images under a same image forming condition on a first side of the test chart so that predetermined toner images are formed on a plurality of predetermined areas overlapping each area where the second test images to be formed.

Claim (Index 8):
An image forming apparatus, comprising:\n an image bearing member configured to bear a toner image; a toner image forming portion configured to form the toner image on the image bearing member; a transfer device configured to transfer the toner image borne on the image bearing member to a recording material; a power source configured to apply a transfer voltage to the transfer device; and a controller configured to control a first transfer voltage that is applied to the transfer device when transferring an image to a first side of the recording material and a second transfer voltage that is applied to the transfer device when transferring an image to a second side of the recording material, wherein the controller is configured to perform a mode that outputs a test chart on which at least one of a plurality of first test images for adjusting the first transfer voltage and a plurality of second test images for adjusting the second transfer voltage is formed, and wherein in a case where the controller forms the second test images on a second side of the test chart in the mode, before forming the second test images, the controller forms a predetermined toner image on a first side of the test chart so that the predetermined toner image is formed on a predetermined area overlapping each area where the second test images to be formed.
