The image forming apparatus has a photosensitive drum, a charging device
for charging the surface of the photosensitive drum, an exposing head for
exposing the charged surface to an exposure light in order to form an
electrostatic latent image, and a developing device for developing the
electrostatic latent image by causing toner adhere to the electrostatic
latent image. The developing device includes a developing roller for
carrying toner to be supplied to the photosensitive drum, a toner
supplying roller for supplying toner to the developing roller, and a
blade for shaping toner on the developing roller into a thin toner layer.
The developing roller, the toner supplying roller, and the blade are
applied with voltages VD, VS, and VB respectively, the voltages VD, VS,
and VB being determined depending on surrounding temperature and
humidity, and satisfying the relationship of |VB-VD|<|VS-VD|.
