Original Abstract Submitted

an image forming apparatus is characterized by that a region of the surface of an image bearing member in which a second potential difference that generates an electrostatic force such that developer which is charged to an opposite polarity to the normal charging polarity of the developer moves from the image bearing member to a developer bearing member was generated in a second operation that moves the developer from the surface of the image bearing member to the developer bearing member includes a region where a first potential difference that generates an electrostatic force such that the developer which is charged to an opposite polarity to the normal charging polarity of the developer moves from the charging member to the image bearing member was generated in a first operation that moves the developer from the surface of the charging member to the surface of the image bearing member.
