Abstract:
An image forming apparatus according to an embodiment includes an image forming unit that forms a toner image on an image carrier body. A primary transfer member transfers the toner image formed on the image carrier body onto an intermediate transfer body. A secondary transfer member transfers the toner image from the intermediate transfer body onto a recording medium. A control unit applies a cleaning bias to the secondary transfer member while an idle operation of the secondary transfer member is being performed before the toner image is secondarily transferred onto the transferring target material.

Claim (Index 19):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the idle operation is a state where the secondary transfer member continually rotates without applying the secondary transfer bias to the secondary transfer member.
