<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a more excellent image by suppressing quality degradation of a developer image by refreshing a developer in a developing device and securing the slidability of a cleaning blade. <P>SOLUTION: An image forming device has removal means capable of removing toner on a photoreceptor drum before a cleaning blade and changes the amount of a developer removed by the removal means so that the amount of toner removed by the cleaning blade is reduced compared with the case of performing a second sequence control for removing toner on the photoreceptor drum by the cleaning blade by discharging toner by rotating again the photoreceptor drum in performing a discharge mode after the rotation of the photoreceptor drum is stopped at the end of image forming operation,when performing a first sequence control for removing toner on the photoreceptor drum by the cleaning blade in executing a discharge mode when image forming operation is continuously performed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
