Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a rotatable image bearing member, a transfer member, a cleaning blade, a driving portion, and a controller. The controller is capable of executing, at a time of an end of a job, a plurality of operations including a first reverse rotating operation, a first normal rotating operation executed subsequently to the first reverse rotating operation, a second reverse rotating operation executed after the first normal rotating operation, and a second normal rotating operation executed subsequently to the second reverse rotating operation. The controller controls the driving portion so that a movement amount of the image bearing member in the second normal rotating operation is smaller than a movement amount of the image bearing member in the second reverse rotating operation.
