Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes: a capacitance detector that detects capacitance of an opposing member disposed opposite to a photoconductor, wherein the capacitance detector detects the capacitance of the opposing member, based on a result of measurement of a current flowing due to potential difference between a voltage applied to the opposing member and the photoconductor being charged.
Claims22
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a capacitance detector that detects capacitance of an opposing member disposed opposite to a photoconductor,
- wherein the capacitance detector detects the capacitance of the opposing member, based on a result of measurement of a current flowing due to potential difference between a voltage applied to the opposing member and the photoconductor being charged.
An opposing-member capacitance detection method comprising:
- detecting capacitance of an opposing member disposed opposite to a photoconductor in an image forming apparatus, based on a result of measurement of a current flowing due to potential difference between a voltage applied to the opposing member and the photoconductor being charged.
