PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device in which a high-quality stable image is obtained by blending the recycled toner, which is recovered from a photoreceptor by a cleaning means and returned to a developing unit, with new normal toner and developing with the blended toner by the developing unit and to generate no waste toner and greatly contribute to resource saving. SOLUTION: This electrophotographic image forming device having at least the developing unit and the cleaning means is provided with a mechanism for directly conveying a part of the developer in the developing unit to the cleaning means, a means for blending/agitating the directly conveyed developer with the toner obtained by cleaning the photoreceptor and a recycling mechanism for returning the blended/agitated developer to the developing unit. |
