ABSTRACT:
An electrophotograhic apparatus has a photoconductive drum which is disposed to be rotatable and on which a toner image corresponding to a document pattern is formed, a transfer unit for transferring a toner image to a paper sheet, and a cleaning unit for removing residual toner particles on the photoconductive drum. The cleaning unit has a cleaning blade which is always in sliding contact with the photoconductive drum in the copying and non-copying modes. The photoconductive drum rotates in the non-copying mode at a speed lower than that in the copying mode.
