Abstract
An image forming apparatus comprises a photoconductor on which a toner image is formed, an intermediate transfer drum disposed opposite to the photoconductor for holding a sheet on its circumferential surface, and a transfer charger disposed opposite to the photoconductor through the intermediate transfer drum for transferring a toner image from the photoconductor onto a sheet held on the intermediate transfer drum. A separation charger is disposed at a downstream side of the transfer charger in the rotational direction of the intermediate transfer drum for separating the sheet from the intermediate transfer drum, the output of the separation charger being set corresponding to the number of times the toner image is transferred.
