PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress turning-up of a blade for cleaning a transfer member and to remove paper powder stuck to the transfer member, while attaining miniaturization of an apparatus. SOLUTION: Paper powder stuck to a secondary transfer roll 31 from paper is removed by a rotating cleaning brush 34, and remaining toner stuck to the secondary transfer roll 31 is removed by a cleaning blade 35. At this time, the situation that paper powder is caught between the secondary transfer roll 31 and the cleaning blade 35 doesn't occur. A zinc stearate transferred and stuck to the cleaning brush 34 from a zinc stearate block 36 is applied to the secondary transfer roll 31 to reduce a frictional force acting between the secondary transfer roll 31 and the cleaning blade 35. Meanwhile, paper powder transferred and stuck from the secondary transfer roll 31 to the cleaning brush 34 is scraped away by a flicker bar 37. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
