A separating apparatus for separating foreign matter from a magnetic toner includes a filter having at least one opening for allowing passage of the magnetic toner, a vibration generator for vibrating the filter, a magnetic field generator for generating a magnetic field for attracting the magnetic toner and causing it to pass through the filter, and a stop for stopping the vibration generator when a predetermined time period has elapsed after the separating apparatus has been stopped.
