A control portion switches first and second modes based on information which influences a toner charging amount. In the first mode, a driving input to the developer bearing member is stopped in response to image formation completion before or at the same time when a trailing end of a charging area reaches the development position, and an application of the development voltage is stopped after the trailing end reaches the development position. In the second mode, The driving input to the developer bearing member is stopped in response to image formation completion before or at the same time when the trailing end reaches the development position, and the application of the development voltage is stopped at a timing after the trailing end reaches the development position and earlier than that in the first mode, or at the same time when the trailing end reaches the development position.
