PURPOSE:To eliminate a useless space, to miniaturize a process part and to improve operability by utilizing the inside of a photosensitive body as toner containing space. CONSTITUTION:Unused toner 15 fills the lower part of a partition 14 in a toner case 6 inside the photosensitive body 1. The unused toner 15 is carried to be inside of a developing unit 4 by actuating a supply coil 16 on a supply path 9 and a formed latent image is developed with the toner carried by the developing unit 4 from the toner case 6. On the other hand, the toner remaining on the photosensitive body 1, when the toner image is transferred, is cleaned by a cleaner 5 and contained by the action of a recovery coil 18 in the upper part of the partition 14 in the toner case 6. Thereby, the useless space can be eliminated and miniaturization can be achieved to improve operability. |
