Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes at least one photoconductor unit including a charging roller and a photoconductor. A charging bias obtained by superimposing an AC voltage on a DC voltage is applied to the charging roller. The photoconductor is disposed opposite the charging roller across a gap. An electrostatic latent image is formed on the photoconductor based on image data. The image forming apparatus further includes a high-voltage power supply to generate an output feedback voltage, a control unit as circuitry to control the high-voltage power supply based on the output feedback voltage and refer to first data to calculate the gap value corresponding to the voltage indicated by the output feedback voltage. The first data indicates a relation between the voltage indicated by the output feedback voltage and a gap value indicating a size of the gap.

Claim (Index 9):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the circuitry calculates the gap value when a predetermined time from a calculation of the gap value has elapsed.
