Abstract
A static electric charge removal method and apparatus of an image carrier, in which more than two ion generating units are arranged in parallel to each other perpendicular to the static electric charge removal advancing direction of the image carrier. The bias electric field strength between a first ion generating device positioned downstream of the electric charge removal advancing direction and the photosensitive body has a greater value than the bias electric field strength between a second ion generating device positioned upstream of the photosensitive body.
