Abstract
A parameter detection unit detects a first factor parameter that corresponds to change in layer thickness of an organic photosensitive layer in a photoreceptor drum and a second factor parameter other than the first factor parameter. A discharge voltage applying unit and a grid voltage applying unit are controlled by a first charging control unit and a second charging control unit. The first charging control unit determines a charging current for a discharge wire of the discharge voltage applying unit in accordance with a detection value of the first factor parameter, which has been detected by the parameter detection unit. On the other hand, the second charging control unit determines an output voltage that corresponds to a grid electrode of the grid voltage applying unit in accordance with a detection value of the second factor parameter, which has been detected by the second charging control unit.
