Abstract:
A charging bias output portion is controlled so that a direct-current component of a charging bias voltage reaches a target voltage value taking a first set time after output start. A transfer bias output portion is controlled so that output of a transfer bias is started after a first position of an image bearing member reaches a transfer position and before a second position reaches the transfer portion, and a transfer current reaches a target current value taking a second set time. The first position is a position of the image bearing member that passes through a charging portion between a charging member and the image bearing member at a timing when the output of the charging DC is started, and the second position is a position that passes through the charging portion at a timing when the charging DC reaches the target voltage value.

Claim (Index 2):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the control portion controls the transfer current flowing through the transfer portion to a first current value at a first predetermined timing, and controls the transfer current to a second current value that is larger than the first current value at a second predetermined timing, during the transfer raising period.
