Claims (4)

Accumulation means for accumulating web-like cleaning material;
Supply means for intermittently pulling out the cleaning material from the storage means and supplying an unused portion of the cleaning material to a rubbing position with respect to the moving toner adhesion surface;
Detecting means for detecting a notch formed in the terminal region of the cleaning material;
In an image forming apparatus comprising: a determination unit that determines an end of the cleaning material based on an output of the detection unit;
Based on the output of the detection means, the supply means is controlled so that the notch of the cleaning material passes without stopping at the rubbing position to increase the amount of intermittent withdrawal of the cleaning material. an image forming apparatus comprising the Ru control means is. When the next image formation is an image formation width that is not affected by the notch , the control unit stops the notch of the cleaning material at the rubbing position using a normal intermittent pull-out amount. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1. It said control means, even after said detection means detects the notch, until the cutout portion is formed partially reaches the rubbing position is to continue normal intermittent withdrawal-amount The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein: A photoreceptor on which a toner image is formed;
A charging roller for contacting and charging the photoreceptor;
A transfer roller for nipping the recording material;
An intermediate transfer member to which a toner image is transferred from the photosensitive member;
A recording material carrier that carries a recording material to which a toner image is transferred from the photoreceptor;
4. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein any one of the fixing member and the fixing member contacting the toner image transferred to the recording material is the toner adhesion surface.
