  • Publication number: 20240411260
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive member, a charging member, a developing member, a contacting member contacting the developing member, and first to third power sources. The first power source generates a first voltage and applies it to the charging member. The second power source generates a second voltage, lower than the first voltage, from the first voltage and applies it to the contacting member. The third power source generates a third voltage, lower than the second voltage, from the second voltage and applies it to the developing member.

  • Publication number: 20230152745
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive member, a charging member, a developing member, a first contacting member contacting to the developing member, and first to third power sources. The first power source generates a first voltage lower and supply to the charging member. The second power source generates a second voltage lower than the first voltage from the first voltage and applies to the first contacting member. The third power source generates a third voltage lower than the second voltage from the second voltage and applies to the developing member.
