ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes a distributing device for distributing residual toner remaining on a photosensitive member after a developed toner image is transferred to a sheet-like paper and before a subsequent image is formed. The distributing device includes a distributing brush which is located between a transferring device and a charging device, has a contact portion contacting the photosensitive member, and includes a voltage supply device for supplying a direct current voltage to the distributing brush. The voltage difference between the distributing brush and the photosensitive member is sufficient to cause a discharge to occur between the distributing brush and photosensitive member.
