<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide toner having high fluidity and high discharging propertyies, toner whose adhesiveness among toner particles is reduced while having high discharging properties, a toner storing container in which the toner is stored, an image forming device loaded with the toner storing container, and a toner supplying method capable of almost completely discharging toner stored in the container. <P>SOLUTION: Toner is stored in a cylindrical container having spiral toner guide grooves at least in the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the container which is used for a toner supply device of an image forming device provided with a container holding means connected to a toner leading part to a developing part and holding the toner storing container so that its aperture part is turned to the toner leading part and a driving means for rotating the storing container. The adhesive force of one toner particle is ≤ 3.0dyne/contact. This invention includes the toner storing container, the image forming device loaded with the toner storing container and the toner supplying method capable of almost completely discharging toner from the container. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
