PURPOSE:To release a toner end detecting state and to eliminate the display of a displaying unit by detecting that toner is supplied to a container through a toner end sensor, and rotating and driving an agitator by a specified amount, then, detecting the supply of the toner. CONSTITUTION:A toner end flag is turned on by the detection of the toner end sensor 66 that the toner is depleted, then a toner end reset action is execut ed by the closing action of a door 30, and is detected that the toner is supplied to the toner container 13 is detected by the sensor 66. At this time, a toner supplying motor 23 is operated by a specified time, and the agitators 19 and 119 and a first toner carrying screw 15 are rotated and riven by the specified amount. The rational amount of a second agitator 119 is set at about 360 deg. and at a rotating angle other than the angle of the integral multiply of about 360 deg.. Then, is detected that the toner is supplied to the toner container 13 is detected through the sensor 66 again, the toner end detecting state is released, the display of the displaying unit 33 is eliminated, and a copying action perform able state is attained. |
