PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent occurrence of damages to a photoreceptor by metal particles contained, in a toner used in the formation of images on a board by electrophotographic system. SOLUTION: In an image forming apparatus, toner remaining on a photoreceptor 1 as transfer residue in a toner image, transferred from the photoreceptor 1 onto a substrate P, is non-patternized by a toner-disturbing member 5, the photoreceptor 1 with the non-patternized residual toner is charged by the charging device 2, in such a way that both the surface of the photoreceptor 1 and the non-patternized toner are charged negatively; the photoreceptor 1 is exposed by an exposure device 3 to form pattern information as an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the photoreceptor 1, the exposed portion of the surface of the photoreceptor 1 is developed by a development combined cleaning device 4; and the non-patternized toner in the non-exposed portion of the surface of the photoreceptor 1 is recovered in the development combined cleaning device 4.
