Abstract
The separating part of the separating device receives a reactive force that occurs on the outer peripheral surface of the photoreceptor drum, at the contact point where the separating part and the photoreceptor drum are in contact. The separating device controller changes the position of the rotational supporting point so as to decrease the rotational moment M of the reactive force at the rotational supporting point of the separating device, in accordance with increase of the reactive force that occurs on the outer peripheral surface of the photoreceptor drum as the separating part is worn down.
