Abstract
An image forming device includes a photosensitive drum, a development roller, a current detection circuit, a power supply part and a power supply control part. The development roller develops an electrostatic latent image formed on the photosensitive drum and forms a toner image on the photosensitive drum. The current detection circuit detects a development current flowing between the photosensitive drum and the development roller when the toner image is formed and outputs a detection signal showing a current value of the development current. The power supply part applies a voltage on the development roller. The power supply control part controls the power supply part such that a variation of the voltage has a negative correlation with a variation of the current value shown in the detection signal.
