PURPOSE: To enable use of the electrostatic latent image surface for a long period of life and realize efficient use thereof, by adopting the magnetic toner cleaning and removing system.
CONSTITUTION: Toner a remaining on an electrostatic recording layer 2 is destaticized by a potential destaticizer 3 to be decreased in the potential. The toner a destaticized by the potential destaticizer 3 is conveyed to a cleaning and removing part by a next magnet roll under the state that the suction force of the toner by the potential on the electrostatic recording layer 2 is being decreased. The residual toner a on a recording drum 1 being shifted on the magnet roll by a main pole N1 passes through magnetic poles S2, N2, S3 along with the rotation of a sleeve 42, and the magnetic toner is set free and is collected in a filter 43 by the air stream due to a blower 44.
