ABSTRACT:
First and second developing units (66), (67) apply toners of first and second colors respectively to a photoconductive drum (61) carrying a bipolar electrostatic image to form a bicolor toner image. A small amount of the first toner is scraped off the drum (61) in the second developing step and becomes mixed with the second toner in the second developing unit (67). The admixed first toner is separated and removed from the second toner by a separation member in the form of a roller, belt or mesh covered electrode (81) which is charged to a polarity opposite to the first toner and electrostatically attracts the same while repelling the second toner.
