An image forming apparatus including: a developing device that develops an
electrostatic latent image formed on an image bearing body into a visible
image by using a charged developer, so as to form a developer image on
the image bearing body; a developing-bias supplying device that supplies,
to the developing device, a developing bias necessary for developing the
electrostatic latent image into the visible image; a transfer device that
transfers the developer image formed on the image bearing body onto a
recording medium; a transfer-bias supplying device that supplies, to the
transfer device, a transfer bias necessary for transferring the developer
image onto the recording medium; and a controller that carries out at
least one of (A) developing-bias-dependent transfer-bias control for
controlling the transfer bias supplied by the transfer-bias supplying
device to the transfer device, on the basis of the developing bias
supplied by the developing-bias supplying device to the developing
device, and (B) operation-amount-dependent developing-and-transfer-bias
control for controlling the developing bias supplied by the
developing-bias supplying device to the developing device and the
transfer bias supplied by the transfer-bias supplying device to the
transfer device, on the basis of an operation amount of the image forming
apparatus.
