Abstract
An electrification adjustment apparatus includes a first electrification adjuster facing the recording material conveyed for supplying charges each with one polarity, and a second electrification adjuster facing the recording material downstream of the first electrification adjuster in a conveying direction for supplying charges each with opposite polarity to that of the charge supplied by the first electrification adjuster. In the electrification adjustment apparatus, an electrostatic capacity between the recording material surface facing the second electrification adjuster, and an electrode partially or entirely formed from the conveyor member is smaller than the one between the recording material surface facing the first electrification adjuster and an electrode partially or entirely formed from the conveyor member. Either front or back surface of the recording material is in contact with the conveyor member in a region between the first and the second electrification adjusters.
