Abstract:
A charged positive toner having a positive polarity that attaches to a charge roller is moved from the charge roller to a photosensitive drum, and the positive toner is transferred to an intermediate transfer belt at a primary transfer portion at which a primary-transfer power supply forms an electric potential having a negative polarity. The primary-transfer power supply forms an electric potential having the positive polarity at the primary transfer portion, and the positive toner transferred to the intermediate transfer belt is moved together with the intermediate transfer belt and is collected by the charge roller in contact with a downstream photosensitive drum.

Claim (Index 11):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 8  further comprising:\n a collection unit that collects the toner transferred to the belt, \n wherein the control unit controls the second charge member such that a charged second toner that attaches to the second charge member and that has the second polarity is moved to the second image-bearing member, and controls the potential formation unit such that an electric field for transferring the charged toner having the second polarity from the second image-bearing member to the belt is formed at the second transfer portion to transfer the second toner from the second image-bearing member to the belt, and \n wherein the second toner transferred to the belt is collected by the collection unit.
