| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a developer replenishing mechanism in which a developer replenishing apparatus is provided with a storing container containing a developer therein and capable of discharging the developer therefrom, and detachably attachable to a main body of the developer replenishing apparatus, and a carrying member provided in the storing container for carrying the developer. A control device interrupts the discharging operation of the storing container, and thereafter resumes the discharging operation of the storing container after the storing container is detached with respect to the main body of the developer replenishing apparatus and is again attached thereto, and thereafter inhibits the developing operation of the developing apparatus and interrupts the discharging operation of the storing container when it is detected at the second time by the detecting means that the driving load is not less than the predetermined value.
