PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device capable of compacting, cost reducing and simplifying the maintenance while maintaining high-quality of image. SOLUTION: An image forming device is provided with a holding brush 5 for temporality holding the remaining toner remained on a photoreceptor drum 3 after transfer, so that the remained toner is discharged from the holding brush 5 at the time of exchange of a developing vessel 2 to recover it by the developing vessel 2. Thus, the remaining toner hardly transferred by the crack or deterioration of the toner can be recovered by the developing vessel 2 without being reutilized to the development and is disposed with the exchange of the developing vessel 2. Accordingly, the high-quality of image can be maintained, and also the simplification of maintenance can be achieved. Since the device is of a cleanerless constitution, the compaction and cost reduction of the device can be also achieved. |
