Abstract:
After primary transfer, in a state where a pressing force of a primary transfer brush is released to separate an intermediate transfer belt from a photosensitive drum, current is impeded to the primary transfer brush. After that, the total current supplied from a secondary transfer roller and a conductive brush is set as a total current whose value is smaller than that of the total current supplied during the primary transfer.

Claim (Index 19):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 16 , wherein\n I A  that is the value of the second total current satisfies: I A > I B \u2265 ( I A - I Z ) \ue89e N B N A + I Z where a current needed for the constant voltage element to maintain the predetermined voltage is I z , the number of the abutting members pressed against the intermediate transfer belt while the toner image is primary-transferred from the image carrying member onto the intermediate transfer belt is N B , the value of the first total current is I B , and the number of the abutting members the pressing force of which is released after the toner image is primary-transferred from the image carrying member onto the intermediate transfer belt is N A .
