PURPOSE:To prevent local ground contamination generated discretely and to raise the reliability of picture quality by applying impact force to a cover member by an impact force means, prior to a development, to remove forcibly a toner adhering to a seal member, etc. by its impact. CONSTITUTION:After a print button is turned on, a scanning optical system starts to conduct a solenoid 65 in synchronizing with the start. The solenoid 65 draws an impact member 62 to the right by the conduction to hit the colliding part I of the imapct member 62 against a holding body 61. As a result, the impact force is impressed to the cover member 59 through the holding body 61, and the toner adhering to the cover member 59 and the seal member is shaken off forcibly, and passes through a developing part quickly by the circulation of a developer. In this case, since an electrostatic latent image does not reach the developing part yet, generation of a local ground contamination by the toner dropped from the seal member is prevented effectively. In this way, a picture quality is stabilized, and a reliability is raised. |
