A method for manufacturing a toner is provided. The method for manufacturing a toner uses a rotary stirring apparatus. The rotary stirring apparatus includes at least a circulation section, a temperature regulation section and a spraying section composed of a two-fluid nozzle. The two-fluid nozzle includes a liquid pipe and an air pipe, the liquid pipe is inserted in the air pipe such that an axis of the liquid pipe coincides with an axis of the air pipe, and at least a part of the liquid pipe and the air pipe is fixed such that the centers of those pipes do not move. A substance in liquid form is sprayed in constant rate from the two-fluid nozzle while regulating temperature and circulating the toner base particles and the fine resin particles in a powder passage, thereby forming a film on the surface of the toner base particle.

A switching power supply apparatus includes a transformer or an inductor, a switching element connected to the transformer or the inductor and configured to perform switching of an input power supply, and a switching control circuit including a digital control circuit configured to sample voltage values and/or current values and control on and off of the switching element in accordance with the voltage values and/or current values. The number of points of sampling is set to n or more points, where n is an integer greater than 3, in an ON period of the switching element except at around a turn-on point or a turn-off point of the switching element. The presence or absence of magnetic saturation of the transformer or the inductor is detected on the basis of whether or not a slope of change in current value over time is larger than a predetermined value, and circuit operation is protected from the effect of magnetic saturation. Thus, the presence or absence of magnetic saturation can be rapidly and precisely detected without the influence of switching noise.

Regarding a magnetic carrier of the present invention, a surface of a magnetic core material is coated with a coating layer containing electrically conductive particles and a charge control agent composed of same components as components of a charge control agent contained in a electrophotographic toner. Further, the magnetic carrier exhibits an electric resistance value of 8.22×107 Ωcm to 1.12×1010 Ωcm in an electric field of 4×103 V/cm. This allows the magnetic carrier to stay capable of charging the electrophotographic toner even over a long period of time.
