<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that toner on a developing sleeve is hardly moved onto a photoreceptor drum to cause defective toner sticking onto the photoreceptor drum, then an image with desired density can not be formed since a charging up and a toner deterioration are caused when the toner is continuously agitated during waiting for image formation. <P>SOLUTION: When an image formation time interval becomes a prescribed value or above (step S8), at least either one of the operation of a development unit or that of a developer supplying unit is stopped (step S11). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
