Abstract
A printer apparatus with an upstream toner recycling function includes: a drum; a development roller performing a developing operation on the drum; a print head performing an exposure operation on the drum; and a cleaner performing a cleaning operation on the drum. After a light sensing part of the drum is rotated through the print head, the light sensing part firstly passes through the cleaner, which cleans or loosens old toners on the drum, and then passes through the development roller, which attaches new toners to the drum.
