IMAGE FORMATION DEVICE

An information which includes an image bearing member 1, an intermediary transfer belt 7, a transfer member 8, a voltage source 20 for applying a voltage to the transfer member 8, a detecting portion 21 for detecting a current flowing through the transfer member 8, and a controller 50 for carrying out constant-voltage control so that the voltage applied to the transfer member when a recording material P passes through a transfer portion N2 and in which the controller 50 is capable of changing the voltage applied to the transfer member 8 so that a detection result detected by the detecting portion 21 during transfer falls within a predetermined pass has a constitution in which said controller 50 changes the predetermined range on the basis of the detection result detected by the detecting portion 21 when the voltage is applied to the transfer member 8 in a state in which the recording material P is absent in the transfer portion N2.
