Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus, comprising:

• an image forming unit configured to form a toner image;
• a movable image bearing member configured to bear the toner image formed by the image forming unit;
• a movable conveying belt configured to convey a recording material;
• a transfer member configured to transfer, in a transfer portion, the toner image from the image bearing member to the recording material which is conveyed by the conveying belt;
• a power supply configured to set voltage to the transfer member;
• a first blade member disposed downstream of the transfer portion and upstream of the image forming unit in a direction in which the image bearing member moves and configured to be in contact with the image bearing member;
• a second blade member configured to be in contact with the conveying belt;
• and
• an execution unit configured to form a toner band in a non-image area existing between image areas of the image bearing member when the toner images are formed continuously and to execute a toner band mode in which toner band passing voltage, which is the voltage applied to the transfer member from the power supply when the toner band passes the transfer portion, is set to a predetermined value in accordance with information about toner usage in image formation.
