A developer scattering prevention unit used with an electrophotographic image forming device includes an air inlet/outlet pipe installed adjacent to an intermediate area between an image carrier and a developer and having a first air inlet/outlet port opened toward the intermediate area, and at least one vacuum source installed on at least one of the image carrier and the developer carrier to communicate with the air inlet/outlet pipe to control air to flow from the intermediate area through the first air inlet/outlet port. A developing device having this developer scattering prevention function becomes simplified in structure.

A development device includes a developing gap detection function. The development device also includes an organic photoconductive body, a developer conveying body, a DC power supply, an AC power supply, a discharge start voltage detection portion, and a controller. The discharge start voltage detection portion detects a discharge start voltage occurring between the developer conveying body and the organic photoconductive body when a voltage is supplied from the power supply unit in increments at predetermined intervals. The controller obtains a developing gap between the organic photoconductive body and the developer conveying body based on the discharge start voltage detected by the discharge start voltage detection portion, and outputs a developing voltage suitable for the obtained developing gap. Accordingly, the development device having the developing gap detection function detects the developing gap easily and accurately by recognizing the discharge start voltage, and improves image quality by regulating an image forming condition.

A method and developing apparatus are provided. The method and apparatus comprise a developing carrier, spaced apart from an image carrier at a predetermined interval, for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on the image carrier during rotation; and a rotational member, rotatably installed adjacent to the image carrier, for generating an air stream reverse to that generated by rotation of both the image carrier and the developer carrier, thereby inhibiting a developer from being scattered.
