color image forming apparatus the toner according to the present invention is non magnetic toner reference numeral 31 represents a cleaning means for removing from the photosensitive drum 2 toner which has not been transferred on an intermediate transfer drum 6 which will now be described reference numeral 6 represents the intermediate transfer drum for repeating for each toner a process for applying a predetermined bias to primarily transfer the developed toner to the photosensitive drum 2 so as to superimpose colors reference numeral 6 a represents a secondary transfer roller and 6 b represents a cleaning roller the superimposition of the color is performed such that the secondary transfer roller 6 a and the cleaning roller 6 b are retracted from the intermediate transfer drum 6 by a retracting means not shown until the foregoing colors are completely superimposed reference numeral 7 represents a paper feeding means incorporating a paper feeding unit 7 a which is disposed in the lower portion of the color image forming apparatus 1 and on which a large quantity of paper are stacked to cause a paper feeding roller 70 to feed upper paper and a manual feeding unit for feeding the paper one by one the paper fed by the paper feeding means 7 is moved to a regist roller 60 so that the alignment of the leading end of the paper is performed and timing is adjusted then the paper is moved to a secondary transfer roller 6 a at timing of the toner subjected to the superimposition of the colors by the intermediate transfer drum 6 after an image has been transferred the.
