Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image transfer belt; a first transfer member; a second transfer member opposed to the first transfer member with the belt therebetween to; an applying device for applying a voltage at least one of the first and second transfer members; and a controller for controlling the applying device to apply to the at least one transfer member a voltage having the same polarity as a regular polarity of toner and a voltage of the opposite a first transfer member cleaning operation. The controller changes a number of image formations to be carried out from a cleaning operation to a next cleaning operation depending on the kind of the sheet. The number controlled by the controller is different depending on the kind of the sheets in a continuous printing job.

Claim (Index 3):
An apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein said controller is capable of changing a number of sets of applications of the voltages of the same and opposite polarities in one cleaning operation in one duration on the basis of the kind inputted by said input portion, wherein the number of the sets is a first number in a case of the first continuous job, and the number of the sets is a second number in a case of the second continuous job, and the second number is larger than the first number.
