Abstract: A method of preventing the occurrence of blackened margins on a photosensitive sheet processed in an electrophotographic apparatus. The method comprises the steps of calculating a first sheet transporting length by which the photosensitive sheet is required to be transported until the forward end of an image area of the photosensitive sheet within which an image is allowed to be formed is charged with electricity and a second sheet transporting length by which the sheet is required to be further transported until the rear end of the image area is charged with electricity. A charging device is caused to turn ON when the actually transported length of the photosensitive sheet attains the calculated first sheet transporting length, and then is deactuated to turn OFF when the additionally transported length of the photosensitive sheet attains the calculated second sheet transporting length.
