    摘要: To provide an image forming apparatus that includes a plurality of image forming units and executes a mode for image formation by using a selected image forming unit, the image forming apparatus being able to restrict a decrease in productivity and restrict an image defect such as a lack of part of an image output during the execution of the mode.In a monochrome mode for forming an image only with a black toner, in the first image forming unit, a toner is caused to adhere to a region on a photosensitive body corresponding to a sheet interval and hence the toner is supplied to a cleaning blade by applying a development bias to a developing unit without applying a direct-current voltage to a charger of a color image forming unit not used for the image formation. Also, an alternating-current voltage is applied to the charger when the region on the photosensitive body from which the toner is removed by the cleaning blade passes through the charger.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a main frame, a plurality of process cartridges, a cartridge-supporting body, a belt, a belt cleaning unit, a waste toner cartridge, and a collective conveying unit. Each drum-cleaning unit collects waste toner on a corresponding photosensitive drum. The cartridge-supporting body supports the process cartridges and is movable between an internal position inside the main frame and an external position outside of the main frame. The belt cleaning unit collects waste toner on the belt. The waste toner cartridge accommodates both waste toner collected from the photosensitive drums by the drum-cleaning units and waste toner collected from the belt by the belt cleaning unit. The collective conveying unit aggregates both waste toner collected from the photosensitive drums by the drum-cleaning units and waste toner collected from the belt by the belt cleaning unit and conveys the aggregated waste toner to the waste toner cartridge.
