Zusammenfassung:An image forming apparatus includes a printing device; a conveyor, a first electric charger to charge the conveyor, a second electric charger to charge the printing medium, a surface potential detector to detect a surface potential of the printing medium, and a controller that adjusts a voltage applied to the second electric charger. The controller determines a target value for the surface potential at a location corresponding to a position of the surface potential detector based on a detection value of the surface potential detector in response to a first voltage being applied to the first electric charger and a second voltage being applied to the second electric charger. The controller adjusts the voltage applied to the second electric charger and the surface potential at the location corresponding to the position of the surface potential detector reaches the target value.
