PURPOSE:To provide a method for removing reversely electrostatically charged toner for an image forming device equipped with a toner recycling device by which reversely electrostatically charged toner is inexpensively and easily separated and an excellent image is obtained for a long term. CONSTITUTION:This image forming device is provided with a latent image forming means 2, a developing means 3, a transfer means 4, a transfer paper feeding means 31, a cleaning means 6 scavenging residual toner on a photosensitive material 1, a feeding means 7 feeding the scavenged toner to the developing means 3, a sheet number detecting means and a control means. After finishing precedent image-forming, the control means stops the driving of the feeding means 31 and the action of the image forming means 2 in a state where the photosensitive material 1, the developing means 3 and the transfer means 4 are driven; and bias voltage having a reverse polarity to the transfer bias voltage of the transfer means 4 at the time of forming the image is impressed on the transfer means 4; and the reversely electrostatically charged toner adhering to the photosensitive material 1 is removed by the transfer means 4. |
