Zusammenfassung:An image forming apparatus includes a latent image bearing body that bears a latent image, a charging member applied with a charging voltage and configured to charge a surface of the latent image bearing body, a developer bearing body applied with a developing voltage and configured to develop the latent image with a developer, a developer regulating member applied with a regulating-member-application voltage and configured to form a layer of the developer on the developer bearing body, and a voltage switching unit configured to switch the regulating-member-application voltage. In a non-image-forming period, the voltage switching unit switches the regulating-member-application voltage from a voltage set for an image forming period to a different voltage.
