Abstract: An image forming apparatus has a plurality of image forming portions, an intermediate transfer belt having an elastic layer, a plurality of primary transfer members, a contact-separation mechanism, a secondary transfer member, a driving device, a voltage applying device, and a control portion. The contact-separation mechanism is switchable between an all-color pressure state where the primary transfer members are all in pressed contact with the image carrying members via the intermediate transfer belt and an all-color apart state where the primary transfer members are all away from the intermediate transfer belt. At first power-on, the control portion starts driving the image carrying members and the intermediate transfer belt in the all-color apart state, then transits to the all-color pressure state, and then ejects toner from the developing device to the image carrying members to reduce the surface friction coefficient on the image carrying members and the intermediate transfer belt.

Abstract: A cleaning device includes a cleaning roller, a cleaning blade, a toner layer forming member and a regulating member. The cleaning roller comes into contact with a surface of a rotating image carrier and rotates. The cleaning blade comes into contact with the image carrier at a downstream side from the cleaning roller in a rotating direction of the image carrier and scrapes toner adhered to the image carrier. The toner layer forming member receives and collects the toner scraped by the cleaning blade and feeds the toner to the cleaning roller to form a toner layer on the cleaning roller. The regulating member comes into contact with the cleaning roller to regulate thickness of the toner layer. The regulating member is controlled so as to thicken thickness of the toner layer formed on the cleaning roller as rotating rate of the image carrier becomes slower.

Pressure is applied to the second thick plate by the fixed electrode, and pressure and control pressure are respectively applied by the movable electrode and the control-pressure applying unit to the thin plate. The pressure from the fixed electrode is controlled to be smaller than the pressure from the movable electrode. The current density between the thin plate and the first thick plate increases.
