PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device capable of recycling toner at low cost with simple constitution. SOLUTION: A toner recycling device 5 is provided by coupling a cleaning device 4 and a developing device 2. A process unit 11 including the developing device 2 and the cleaning device 4 with a photoreceptor 1 as center is turned clockwise centering around a unit supporting point 6 from a state (a) to states (b) and (c) as shown in figure. Then, the recovered toner recovered by the cleaning device 4 and accumulated in a toner accumulation 5b passes through a toner transfer tube 5d and moves (falls) to a toner storage part 5c. After restoring the unit 11 as shown by (d), the recovered toner is supplied to the developing device 2 little by little by the rotation of a recovered toner supply roller 5a at the time of forming an image. |
