An image forming apparatus capable of collecting residual toner from the
donor roller by means of a plurality of magnetic rollers and
consequently, reducing the occurrences of possible ghost phenomenon
caused by the toner residue. The image forming apparatus includes an
image receiving member having an electrostatic latent image formed on a
surface thereof, a donor roller to receive a toner and form a layer of
toner on an outer circumferential surface thereof, the donor roller being
arranged to oppose the image receiving member so as to develop with toner
the electrostatic latent image of the image receiving member, and a
plurality of magnetic rollers each to support magnetic brushes of
carrier.
