Zusammenfassung:To extend the lives of members related to development, while reducing unnecessary adhesion of toner to a rear face of a sheet.SOLUTION: In a first period to prevent unnecessary adhesion of toner to an image carrier, a control unit controls a first power supply so that a developing voltage with a first polarity is applied to a developing member. In a second period to develop an electrostatic latent image formed on the image carrier with toner, the control unit controls the first power supply so that a developing voltage with a second polarity is applied to the developing member. There is a third period different from the first period. In the third period, a toner image is not formed on the image carrier. The control unit controls the first power supply and second power supply so that the potential difference between the developing member and a supply member in the third period becomes smaller than the potential difference in the first period and second period.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】シートの裏面への不必要なトナーの付着を低減しつつ、現像に関与する部材の寿命を延ばすこと。【解決手段】制御部は、像担持体への不要なトナーの付着を抑制する第一期間において現像部材に第一極性の現像電圧が印加されるよう第一電源を制御する。制御部は、像担持体に形成された静電潜像をトナーで現像する第二期間において、現像部材に第二極性の現像電圧が印加されるよう第一電源を制御する。第一期間とは異なる第三期間がある。第三期間では、像担持体にトナー画像が形成されない。制御部は、第三期間における現像部材と供給部材との間の電位差が、第一期間および際に期間における電位差よりも小さくなるように、第一電源および第二電源を制御する。【選択図】 図3
