Publication number: 20240168405Abstract: Rotation of an image bearing member is started and stopped in a contact state between the image bearing member and a developing member. During post-rotation operation, a controller ends application of a charging voltage after changing the charging voltage stepwise to first and second charging voltages. The controller ends application of a developing voltage after changing the developing voltage stepwise at a developing position to first and second developing voltage in synchronism with the first and second charging voltages. A potential difference between each of surface potentials of first and second regions and an associated one of the first and second developing voltages is maintained within a predetermined range. The controller carries out control so that an absolute value of the surface potential of at least one of the first and second regions is made small by passing a current under application of a transfer voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: YUSUKE SHIMIZU, TOMOO AKIZUKI, NORIHIRO SHIRAHATA, YUSUKE SAKAMOTO, SHUNSUKE MIZUKOSHI
