Abstract
A charge-eliminating apparatus includes a charge-eliminating member, a voltage applying unit, a setting unit for setting a value of a voltage applied to the charge-eliminating member by the voltage applying unit. A controller executes a changing process in which the value of a voltage to be output by the voltage applying unit is changed from the value of the voltage set by the setting unit during execution of a charge-eliminating operation in which the charge of a plurality of sheets is continuously eliminated by the charge-eliminating member. A selecting unit selects a first mode in which the changing process is performed during the execution of the charge-eliminating operation or a second mode in which the changing process is not performed during the execution of the charge-eliminating operation and the voltage is output by the voltage applying unit based on the value set by the setting unit.
