A developer bearing member, which bears developer to which additive particles have been added, and an image bearing member, on which an electrostatic latent image formed on the surface thereof is developed by rubbing contact with the developer bearing member, are configured so as to be separable; and during a first operation in which the image bearing member, while in a separated state from the developer bearing member, makes rubbing contact with a cleaning member, a second operation is carried out to place the developer bearing member temporarily in contact with the image bearing member and supply the additive particles to the contact portion between the cleaning member and the image bearing member.
