    摘要: A powder filling method, which fills at least two kinds of powders with different specific gravities into a powder container, and by which a region having only a powder with the highest specific gravity out of the at least two kinds of powders is prevented from being generated in the filled powder container. A toner, which is a first powder that does not include a carrier having the highest specific gravity, is mixed with air in a toner storage portion. The air is introduced into the toner particles to increase the bulk of the toner, and then a toner filling device fills a toner bottle serving as the powder container with the toner having the air. Upon completion of such filling, a carrier filling device starts filling the carrier, which is a second powder, into the toner bottle. Filling of the carrier is completed before the air is released from the toner particles contained in the toner bottle and thereby the bulk of the toner is reduced and then stabilized.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus including an image bearing member; a developing device forming a toner image; a toner supplying device including a toner container, a toner feeding passage, a pump, in which a first member is moved while rubbing a second member to feed a developer supplement including at least the toner, and a residual toner detector detecting the amount of the developer supplement remaining in the toner container. Even after the toner container achieves a near empty state, image forming operations are continued as long as a predetermined condition is satisfied while changing the pump's condition such that the pump is stopped, the ratio of the pump stopping period to the pump driving period is set to be greater than that before the near-empty detection, or the pump stopping period and the pump driving period are set to be longer than those before the near-empty detection.

    摘要: A toner supply device includes a toner container, a transport-path forming member, an opening, a shutter member, and a first seal member. The opening is provided at a side wall of the transport-path forming member. The shutter member is movable between a closed position to close the transport path by being inserted in the opening and an open position. The first seal member fills a gap between an inner wall of the opening and the shutter member in a toner transport direction in which the toner is transported through the transport path. When the shutter member is inserted in the opening, the shutter member is elastically deformable in a deformation direction perpendicular to both the toner transport direction and a moving direction of the shutter member, and when the shutter member is not inserted in the opening, the shutter member is wider than the opening in the deformation direction.
