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 14):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 13  further comprising:\n a secondary transfer member that is in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the intermediate transfer belt and that forms a secondary transfer portion; and \n a power supply that applies a voltage to the secondary transfer member to cause the toner image to be transferred from the intermediate transfer belt to the transfer material at the secondary transfer portion, \n wherein the potential formation unit is the power supply, and the control unit controls the power supply such that electric fields in the same direction are formed at the first transfer portion and the second transfer portion in a manner in which the voltage is applied to the secondary transfer member.
