Abstract
A toner image transfer apparatus for transferring a toner image formed on an intermediate transfer belt onto a recording sheet includes an environment sensor and a control panel for detecting or inputting a factor influencing the transfer of the toner image, a calculation unit for determining an initial transfer bias used for the transfer of the toner image on the basis of the above input value, and a transfer unit for inputting a correction value for correcting the initial transfer bias from the control panel and determining the corrected transfer bias on the basis of the correction value to transfer the toner image on the intermediate transfer belt onto the recording sheet by the corrected transfer bias.
