Abstract
An image forming apparatus is constituted by an image carrying member movable while carrying a toner image, or a recording material carrying member movable while carrying a recording material onto which a toner image is to be transferred; a contact member movable while contacting the image carrying member or the recording material carrying member; and a voltage adjusting member for adjusting a voltage to be applied to the contact member so that an absolute value of the voltage when a state of the image carrying member or the recording material carrying member and the contact member is changed from a rest state in which these members are resting to a moving state in which these members are moving is larger than an absolute value of the voltage in the rest state.
