an image forming apparatus includes an image carrier, a charging device, an exposure device, a developing device, a transfer portion, a cleaning blade, and a control section. the control section detects a charging current amount of the image carrier and, when an integrated current amount obtained by integrating values of the charging current amount in a prescribed length of time is lower than a prescribed threshold value, performs an aging process in which the image carrier is driven to rotate in a charged state.
