PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily remove carrier from a magnet with easy operation by movably providing the magnet and scraping the carrier removed from an image carrier by the magnetic force of the magnet by means of a scraping member when the magnet is moved. SOLUTION: A recovery device 15 is equipped with a casing 16 and a slide board 17 is slidably attached to the casing 16. The slide board 17 is separately opposed to a photoreceptor drum 1 in a state where a surface side is inclined and the magnet 18 for attracting the carrier is provided on the back surface side of the slide board 17. Only the central part of the slide board 17 has the magnetic force and the slide length of the magnet 18 is set so that the magnet 18 can slide until it is separated from a cleaning blade which scrapes the carrier. Thus, the carrier removed from the drum 1 by the magnetic force of the magnet 18 is scraped while the slide board 17 slidably contacts with the cleaning blade by the movement of the magnet 18. |
