PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the reliability of removal of remaining toner by a cleaning means and to prevent a deterioration in a photoreceptor by weakening the electrostatic force of toner remaining after a transfer, with respect to an amorphous silicone photoreceptor drum, so as to reduce the load of the cleaning means. SOLUTION: The amorphous silicon photoreceptor drum 1 is irradiated with light by a cleaner preexposure device 8 disposed in a part nearer to the upstream side than a cleaning blade 9b, in the rotational direction of the drum 1, to weaken the electrostatic force of the toner remaining after the transfer. Then, the toner remaining on the drum 1, after the transfer is performed is removed by a magnet roller 9c and the waste toner of a cleaning device 9 is resupplied to the surface of the drum 1, to be uniformly stuck. Thus, the toner stuck to the drum 1 can be accumulated in the edge part of the cleaning blade 9b, without unevenness. |
