Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Fluctuations in chargeability in an initial state are expected to be small. If a charging member is new, an image forming apparatus performs a supply operation for supplying a developer or a lubricant prior to an image forming operation in such a manner that the developer or the lubricant adheres to a surface of the charging member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An image forming apparatus comprising: an image bearing member configured to bear a developer image; a charging member configured to contact the image bearing member; a storage unit configured to store information about the charging member; and a developing unit configured to supply developer having a predetermined polarity to the image bearing member to form a developer image, and to collect developer remaining on the image bearing member after the…
