IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240288801 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an image forming apparatus that sets the transfer bias during image formation based on detecting results.
- The apparatus includes a photosensitive member, an intermediary transfer belt, a primary transfer member, an electrode member, and detecting portions.
- The control portion executes a setting operation during non-image formation to set the transfer bias for image formation.
- The transfer bias is set based on detecting results from the first and second detecting portions while a voltage is applied to the primary transfer member.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Setting transfer bias based on detecting results during non-image formation.
- Utilizing detecting portions to adjust transfer bias for image formation.
- Improving image quality and transfer efficiency in the image forming process.

Original Abstract Submitted
an image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive member charged to a predetermined polarity, an intermediary transfer belt, a primary transfer member forming a primary transfer portion, an electrode member in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the photosensitive member on a downstream side, first and second detecting portion to detect a current flowing through or a voltage applied to the primary transfer member and the electrode member, respectively, and a control portion, during non-image formation, to execute a setting operation in which the transfer bias to be set during image formation is set. in executing the setting operation, the control portion sets the transfer bias based on a first detecting result detected by the first detecting portion while a voltage is applied to the primary transfer member and a second detecting result detected by the second detecting portion while the voltage is applied to the primary transfer member.
