Along a rotational direction of a photoreceptor, a cleaner unit for cleaning a surface of the photoreceptor, a lubricant applying apparatus for applying a lubricant to the surface of the photoreceptor, and a charging device for charging the surface of the photoreceptor are disposed in this order. Further, the lubricant applying apparatus applies the lubricant to the surface of the photoreceptor which has been cleaned and has not been charged. As a result, it is possible to uniformly apply the lubricant to the surface of the image carrier for an extended period of time with stability.
