Then, the developer recovered from the developing device 13, recovered from the developing unit is fed through paths 5c, 4c and 2c provided in a carrying means such as an auger shown by a broken line. By such a constitution, the used developer periodically recovered by the developing device 13 can be housed in the toner housing part 5b as a removed toner recovering space in the cleaning device 15 or the removed toner housing parts 4b and 2b provided in the electrifier 12 and the transfer device 14. |
