PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device realizing recycle at the level of the parts of a toner cartridge by providing a system never exceeding the toner-melting temperature of a toner cartridge so as to prevent sticking of toner by heat. SOLUTION: A temperature sensor 14 is installed at the lower part of the wall of a cleaning part 12 constituting image forming cartridge B. In order to realize recycling at the level of the parts of the cartridge B, the set temperature of the sensor 14 is made to be a value which never exceeds a toner-melting temperature. When the temperature of the wall of the part 12 amounts to the set temperature, operation of the printer is changed from a consecutive mode to an intermittent mode to cool the cartridge B during intervals. |
