CONSTITUTION:The waste toner collected from the photoreceptor 1 by the cleaning part 6 at the time of image forming is contained in the waste toner container 5, and the waste toner is transported through inside the relay tube 14 by the working of the transport screw 16 and sent into the heater hollow tube 21 of the fixing part 9. The waste toner sent in is transported inside the heater hollow tube 21 by the working of the flow out screw and fused by heating by temp. rising of the heater hollow tube 21 heated by the heater, and the fused waste toner is transported in the heater hollow tube 21 toward the exit.
