PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device that cleans a photoreceptor with a counter-type cleaning blade, configured to reduce frictional force between the photoreceptor and the cleaning blade to rotate the photoreceptor at a small angle for preventing image deletion, and to reduce abnormal noise to be generated during the small-angle rotation, while extending the service life of the cleaning blade.SOLUTION: An image forming device 100 includes drive parts DY-DK in a photoreceptor 1, and a control part Cont of the drive part. The control part reverses the photoreceptor 1 during non-image forming operation after image forming operation, the number of times corresponding to the number of sheets to be used in the image forming operation at a predetermined small reverse rotation angle &thetas;, for example. The angle &thetas; is set so as to prevent a discharge product to be produced by a charging unit from being locally adhered to the photoreceptor 1. |
