Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member; a transfer member configured to transfer a toner image carried on the image bearing member to a sheet by being applied with a voltage; a controller configured to execute a mode of outputting a test chart for setting a voltage to be applied to the transfer member during image formation, the mode being a mode of transferring a plurality of test images to the test chart by applying a plurality of different voltages to the transfer member; and an operation portion capable of setting a type of a sheet on which the mode is executed. The controller is configured to preset a voltage value for setting a voltage to be applied when the test images are transferred in execution of the mode based on a voltage value, which is set in the previous execution of the mode.
