    摘要: A developing apparatus includes a developer containing portion containing a developer having a weight average particle diameter of not more than 7 &mgr;m, a developer bearing member for bearing a developer, and an agitating member that agitates the developer contained in the developer containing portion. The agitating member is intermittently driven with respect to rotation of a developing sleeve. The agitating member is driven to rotate for one page every time the image forming apparatus performs a predetermined number of printing operations. A rod member having a crank-like shape may be used as the agitating member and both of the end portions serve as the center of rotation. By controlling the drive of the agitating member, it is possible to effectively adjust the supply of toner to the developing sleeve and prevent the density lowering phenomena caused due to inflow of a large amount of the new toner presented at the rear of the developing container. The agitating member may be positioned closest to the developing sleeve and may be arranged below the toner container. Accordingly, to these arrangements, the image density after printing a low print pattern can be prevented from being lessened to obtain a uniform image density even though a one-component magnetic developer having the weight average particle sized diameter of not more than 7 &mgr;m is used.
