PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the wearing of a carrying belt caused by the back flow of developer, even if an image forming cartridge is inclined at the time of removing the cartridge in an image forming device. SOLUTION: The device is provided with a photoreceptor 3 whose surface is uniformly electrified by an electrifier 5, a developing unit 4 for supplying the developer to the photoreceptor 3, to visualize the electrostatic latent image of an original formed on the surface of the photoreceptor 3 as a toner image, a toner carrying device 7 for supplying toner to the developing unit 4, a cleaning device for recovering untransferred toner stuck to the surface of the photoreceptor 3 and a toner recovering device 9 for returning the untransferred toner collected by the cleaning device to the toner carrying device 7. At this time, a magnetic material 10 is provided in the vicinity of the boundary of the toner carrying device 7 on the toner recovering device 9 and even if the developer flows backward from the developing unit 4, the back flow can be prevented in the magnetic material 10. |
