Summary:An image forming apparatus includes a belt, a cling unit, an application unit and a controller. The controller when a leading end portion of the belt where a leading end of a sheet in a conveying direction is disposed is present at a facing position where the belt and the cling unit face each other, controls the application unit to apply a clinging bias to the cling unit for supplying electric charge to the leading end portion, and when an intermediate portion of the belt disposed between the leading end portion and a trailing end portion thereof where a trailing end of the sheet is disposed is present at a facing position, reduces the clinging bias to be less than the clinging bias when the leading end portion is present at the facing position.
