Abstract:
An image forming apparatus executes charging, exposure, toner-supply suspension, and electric-field generation while a photosensitive member rotates at least a full turn. In the charging, a charger charges a portion of a circumferential surface of the photosensitive member. In the exposure, an exposure device exposes the portion, which has been charged in the charging, of the circumferential surface. In the toner-supply suspension, before the portion, which has been exposed in the exposure, of the circumferential surface passes a position at which developer from a developing unit is configured to initially adhere to the circumferential surface, a developing unit stops supplying developer to the photosensitive member. In the electric-field generation, an electric field is generated in a portion of the photosensitive layer of the photosensitive member corresponding to the portion, which has been exposed in the second exposure, of the circumferential surface.

Claim (Index 11):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 10 , further comprising:\n a transfer member electrically connected to the controller and configured to transfer a developer image onto the recording medium from the circumferential surface of the photosensitive member, wherein the controller is further configured to perform:\n transferring including controlling the transfer member to transfer the developer image onto the recording medium; and \n subsequent to the end of the transferring, control the developing roller to move from the first position to the second position and to stay in the second position.
