SOLUTION: The toner container 402 has the bag-like storage part 402A housing recovered toner and a mouth piece member 402B, a supporting member 402C and the shutter member 402D are attached to the opening part of the storage part, 402A. A supplying/discharging port, member is constituted of the mouth piece member 402B and the supporting member 402C. The shutter member 402D is opened/closed to set introducing and nonintroducing forms for toner. At the time of introducing the toner, a recovering hopper 410 fitted to the shutter member 402D introduces the toner into the storage part 402A, in such a manner that a pipe 408 extended from a toner transfer means is connected to a pipe 410A1 provided in a recovering part 410A. Moreover, as the storage part 402A, a foldable bag made of resin such as polyethylene and nylon is used. |
