Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a developing system, a drum, and a processor. The developing system includes a developing sleeve that is rotatable in a forward direction and a reverse direction and rotates in the forward direction to cause a developer toner filled in a container to adhere to a surface, and a blade that removes a part of the developer toner adhered to the surface of the developing sleeve. The drum receives a toner contained in the developer on the surface of the developing sleeve, and forms a toner image on a transfer belt used to transfer the toner image to the printing medium. The processor recognizes a temperature of the developing system when an operation of the developing system is stopped, determines a reverse rotation amount of the developing sleeve based on the recognized temperature, and reversely rotates the developing sleeve based on the reverse rotation amount.
