Abstract:
Provided is an image forming apparatus, including: an image bearing member on which an electrostatic latent image is formed; an image bearing member charging unit which applies image bearing member charging voltage; a developer bearing member to which developing voltage for developing the electrostatic latent image on the image bearing member is applied and which bears and transports a developer; a primary transfer unit which transfers a developer image on the image bearing member to an intermediate transfer member; and a charging member which charges a developer on the intermediate transfer member, the developer image being first primarily transferred and then secondarily transferred to a recording material, wherein the image forming apparatus operates in: a first mode in which a residual developer on the intermediate transfer member after the secondary transfer is electrostatically removed from the intermediate transfer member; and a second mode.

Claim (Index 24):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 10 , further comprising\n a transfer member for primarily transferring the developer image from the image bearing member to the intermediate transfer member, wherein in the cleaning mode executed during the non-image formation period, voltage with a same polarity as the normal charging polarity is applied to the transfer member, and the developer remaining on the intermediate transfer member is transferred to the image bearing member and cleaned.
