Abstract
A method of controlling rotation of a brush in a cleaning device of an image forming system. In the method, the brush is raced together with the photoreceptor which is in contact with the brush for a predetermined time in a warming-up period before the image forming operation starts, in an image-forming rest period, or when a new cartridge constituted by the photoreceptor and the cleaning device is set into the image forming system, so that the hairs of the brush which have been transformed during the rest of rotation are recovered into their original shapes.
