Title:
画像形成装置及び画像形成方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP7293894
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member, a charger, a static eliminating section, and a determination section. The image bearing member includes a photosensitive layer. The charger charges a circumferential surface of the image bearing member. The static eliminating section eliminates static electricity from the charged circumferential surface of the image bearing member. The determination section determines whether or not static electricity is to be eliminated from the circumferential surface of the image bearing member based on a thickness of the photosensitive layer. The image forming apparatus includes a measurement section and an estimation section. The measurement section measures a drive time or the number of rotations of the image bearing member. The estimation section estimates the thickness of the photosensitive layer based on a result of measurement by the measurement section.
