Abstract:
An image formation apparatus includes a first electrode portion including a contact electrode and a counter electrode, a second electrode portion arranged as not being in contact with a recording medium, a first sensing unit configured to sense a first current which flows to the first electrode portion as a result of application of a voltage across the contact electrode and the counter electrode while the recording medium lies between the contact electrode and the counter electrode, a second sensing unit configured to sense a second current which flows from the charged recording medium to the second electrode portion, and a control unit. The control unit sets a transfer condition for transferring a toner image to the recording medium based on the first current sensed by the first sensing unit and the second current sensed by the second sensing unit.

Claim (Index 6):
The image formation apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein\n when relation between an electrical resistance of the recording medium and the second current is shown with the electrical resistance of the recording medium being shown on an abscissa and the second current being shown on an ordinate, a distribution of electrical resistances of the recording medium is expressed with a projecting shape having a peak, and when the sensed second current has a value in a region around the peak, the control unit is configured to set the transfer condition based on the first current sensed by the first sensing unit as a result of application of different voltages across the contact electrode and the counter electrode and the second current which flows from the recording medium to the second electrode portion after application of the different voltages and is sensed by the second sensing unit.
