摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prolong the life of an image carrier and to prevent an abnormal image caused by discharge product stuck to the surface of the image carrier in an image forming device where an electrostatic latent image formed on the image carrier is developed as a toner image by a developing device and the toner image is transferred to transfer material. SOLUTION: Toner left after transfer which is stuck to the surface of the image carrier without being transferred to the transfer material P is removed by the developing device 6, and a product removing member 19 abutting on the surface of the image carrier 1 is provided and supported to be separated from the surface of the image carrier 1.
