Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable mediums are described for adjusting a charge voltage for a photosensitive member to account for accumulated charge quantity. In one example, currents related to charging a charger, which imparts a charge to a photosensitive member, are monitored. Based on the monitored currents, a new charging voltage may be determined and applied that accounts for accumulated charge quantity in the photosensitive member. A transfer current related to a transfer charge may also be monitored or a predetermined value used. The determination of the new charging voltage may be performed at various times.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions executable by a processor of an image forming apparatus configured to perform a printing process in which an image is formed using developer on a recording medium, wherein the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the image forming apparatus to perform:
A control method to be executed by a controller of an image forming apparatus, the image forming apparatus configured to perform a printing process in which a developer image is formed on the recording medium, the control method comprising:
