PURPOSE:To obtain a sufficient toner recovering effect by providing an air sucking means having a sucking port facing an electrostatic latent image carrier and an air sending means blowing air in the vicinity of a region facing the sucking port of the electrostatic latent image carrier. CONSTITUTION:In a developing device 3, an air sucking duct 12 is formed along a bottom part casing 11 composing a housing 4, the air sucking port 13 of the air sucking duct 12 faces the surface (region X) of a photosensitive body just after it passes a part facing the developing device 3, so that the air in the vicinity of the region X is sucked via the air sucking duct 12. The air sending duct 14 is provided outside the air sucking duct 12, and its air sending port 15 is turned toward the region X, so that the air sent from an air sending device is blown in the vicinity of the region X. Thus, the toner can be sufficiently recovered. |
