ABSTRACT:
In an image forming apparatus, the distance of stirring and conveyance of recycle toner that is recovered from a photosensitive drum is made greater than the distance of stirring and conveyance of fresh toner. It is thus possible to prevent non-charged toner from being supplied to the photosensitive drum.
