Image forming apparatus

Abstract

An image forming apparatus according to the present disclosure includes: an image forming portion configured to apply a bias voltage between a first carrier with a surface to be charged and a second carrier configured to hold toner to be adhered to the first carrier to move the toner from the second carrier to a developing area of the first carrier to develop the developing area of the first carrier; a current detection portion configured to detect a target current that flows between the first carrier and the second carrier during development; a temperature detection portion configured to detect a temperature inside the apparatus; and a cooling control portion configured to execute a predetermined cooling operation based on a detected current that is detected by the current detection portion and a detected temperature that is detected by the temperature detection portion.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
