<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus having a plurality of image forming devices different in structure of a charging means and capable of removing transfer residual toner under a proper condition from a latent image carrier in each of the image forming devices. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus has a plurality of image forming devices 1 each of which is provided with a photoreceptor 3 serving as the latent image carrier, a charging device 4, a development apparatus 5, and a photoreceptor cleaning device 6 serving as a toner removing means removing transfer residual toner remaining on the surface of the photoreceptor 3 after a formed toner image is transferred to an intermediate transfer belt. An image forming device 1K for black among a plurality of the image forming devices 1 has a charging device 4 different in structure from that of another image forming device 3T for color. Between the image forming device 1K for black and the image forming device 1T for color, photoreceptor cleaning devices 6 are constructed differently from each other. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
