PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a cleaningless image forming device capable of continuously forming a stable image for a long period by reducing toner remaining on a photoreceptor as much as possible. SOLUTION: An electrifying brush roller 11 electrifies the surface of the photoreceptor 10 and holds a scraped lubricant 20 among the fibers of a brush, to coat the photoreceptor 10 with the lubricant 20. In transferring a toner image to a recording paper 4, a transfer unit 14 efficiently transfers the toner image on the photoreceptor, to reduce the toner remaining on the photoreceptor 10, because its surface is coated with the lubricant 20 for enhancing the releasability of the toner. A developing unit 13 sticks the toner to an electrostatic latent image formed on the surface of the photoreceptor 10 and efficiently removes the residual toner stuck to an unexposed region which is not exposed from the surface of the photoreceptor 10. |
