PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that includes a cleaning device having a plurality of brush rollers capable of reducing an amount of wear of a scraper that scrapes toner on a flicker roller. SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes a cleaning means having: a first toner removal roller which removes residual toner on an image carrier and to which a voltage of the same polarity as that of normal toner is applied; a second toner removal roller which removes residual toner on the image carrier and to which a voltage of polarity opposite to that of the normal toner is applied; the first flicker roller disposed in contact with the first toner removal roller; a first scraper disposed in contact with the first flicker roller. In the image forming apparatus, toner recovered by the second toner removal roller is supplied onto the first flicker roller. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
