Abstract (en)

A charging device having a counter (11) for outputting an information signal indicating the number of copies produced as a detection signal indicating a change in the thicknes (T3) of a photosensitive layer (1c), and a microcomputer (12) for correcting the voltage to be applied to a charging roller (7) by a variable DC power source (10). When a detection signal from the counter (11) is input into the microcomputer (12), it corrects the voltage so as to approximate the surface potential of a photoreceptor drum to a set value. With this arrangement, the surface potential (Vc) of the photoreceptor drum (1) is kept uniform, and therefore it is possible to produce copies of good quality constantly. <IMAGE>
