Image forming device

An image forming device comprising:

• an image carrier;
• an image former including a charging member that comes into contact with a surface of the image carrier and charges the surface of the image carrier;
• a rotation driver that rotationally drives the image carrier;
• a date and time acquirer that acquires a date and time;
• a receiver that receives predetermined input information, the predetermined input information being an operation and/or a state of predetermined processing, or being data;
• a controller;
• and
• a storage,
• wherein the controller includes
• a calculation processor that acquires, from the date and time acquirer, a rotation stop date and time, which is a date and time when rotation of the image carrier has stopped, and that stores, in the storage, a date and time obtained by adding a predetermined additional period to the acquired rotation stop date and time, as a next rotation date and time, and
• a determination processor that acquires a date and time from the date and time acquirer when the receiver has received the predetermined input information, and that determines whether an input detection date and time, which is the acquired date and time, is a date and time on or after the next rotation date and time stored in the storage, and
• when the determination processor determines that the input detection date and time is the date and time on or after the next rotation date and time, the controller performs predetermined distance rotation control of driving the rotation driver to rotate the image carrier by a predetermined movement distance and then stopping the image carrier.
