Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member, a transfer member, an applying portion, a detecting portion, and a controller. In a case where an adjusting operation is executed from reception of a start signal of image formation to a start of transfer of an image on a first sheet in the transfer portion, the controller controls the applying portion so that a second test bias is higher in absolute value of a voltage than a first test bias and controls the applying portion so that a time in which the first test bias is applied to the transfer portion is set to a first time and so that a time in which the second test bias is applied to the transfer portion is set to a second time longer than the first time.
