A dispenser for replenishing the toner portion of a mixture of toner and carrier, the mixture developing a latent image formed on an image-bearing surface. A container including spaced-apart side walls is positioned adjacent a rotatable member, the bottom of the side walls being shaped to fit the curvature of the member. The toner is introduced into the container and is dispensed as the member is rotated and at a rate proportional to its speed. In a specific embodiment, the amount of toner dispensed is dependent on the density of the developed image and/or the image printing rate.
