A cleaner-less image former that can prevent cleaning efficiency from reducing
and maintain high print quality. After a printing process is started, one lookup
table LUT is selected from a group of LUTs based on a temperature detected by a
temperature sensor and the number of sheets of paper which have been printed. A
pre-transfer bias is determined by applying a current value memorized in a feedback
current value memorizing part to the selected LUT, the determined pre-transfer
bias is applied to a transfer roller, and then a transfer bias is determined based
on the above current value and the temperature. The determined transfer bias is
applied to the transfer roller. The residual toner remaining on the transfer roller,
a charge brush and a memory removal brush is removed by applying the pre-transfer bias.
