Abstract
An electrophotographic copying machine includes a combined developing-cleaning magnetic brush element for selectively conducting the developing operation and the cleaning operation. During the first revolution of the drum, a bias voltage of -200 V is applied to the combined developing-cleaning magnetic brush element to conduct the developing operation. During the second revolution of the drum, a bias voltage of +30 V or zero (0) volts is applied to the combined developing-cleaning magnetic brush element to attract the inversely charged residual toner from the drum surface. During the third revolution of the drum, the bias voltage of -200 V is again applied to the combined developing-cleaning magnetic brush element to attract the positively charged residual toner from the drum surface.
