PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent developer to be preset in an image forming device before shipping from being fixed solidified, etc., because of being left in a high temperature state. SOLUTION: When the image forming device is shipped to a user, only the developer or carrier whose toner concentration is lower than that of the normal using time of the user is used as the developer housed in a revolver developing device 230. Then, the device is shipped so that the developer on the developing sleeves 231KS, 231CS, 231MS and 231YS of respective colors is not exposed to the outside of the developing device 230. Besides, the device is packaged so that the developer on the developing sleeves is not brought into contact with a faced photoreceptor drum. |
