Abstract
A peeling member for peeling magnetic waste toner scraped off from a photosensitive drum by a cleaning blade and conveyed to a waste toner recovery position by a magnetic developer carry-out roller is faced to the developer carry-out roller in a non-contact state. As waste toner on the developer carry-out roller is peeled off leaving a thin layer of waste toner in a thickness equivalent to the gap, a conveying amount of waste toner by the developer carry-out roller increases.
