PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent permanent deformation of a cleaning member and firm sticking of toner to the cleaning member and an image carrier by means of a simple structure, in an image forming device which recovers and sticks residual transfer toner again between the cleaning member and image carrier. SOLUTION: The main body 12A of the cleaning member 12 is in the form of a sector, and is brought into contact with the photoreceptor 1 at the time of the operation of recovering residual transfer toner on the photoreceptor 1 and the operation of resticking the recovered toner to the photoreceptor 1. When the recovering operation and resticking operation are not carried out, the cleaning member 12 is rotated to be separated from the phtotoreceptor 1. |
