摘要:
An electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes a first electrostatic-capacity generating portion disposed at such a position that the first electrostatic capacity generating portion contacts the developer accommodated in the developer accommodating portion. The first electrostatic capacity generates portion generating an electrostatic capacity corresponding to an amount of the developer. A second electrostatic-capacity generating portion is disposed at such a position that the second electrostatic-capacity generating portion does not contact the developer accommodated in the developer-accommodating portion. The second electrostatic capacity generating portion generates a reference electrostatic capacity. A developer amount detector is provided for detecting an amount of the developer accommodated in the developer-accommodating portion on the basis of the electrostatic capacity generated by the first electrostatic-capacity generating portion and the reference electrostatic capacity generated by the said second electrostatic-capacity generating portion.
