<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate the handling of toner at the time of replenishment and to eliminate the complexity of replacing operation, the falling of toner to the periphery, and contamination due to scattering by temporarily holding powdery toner for replenishment temporarily in a solid state. SOLUTION: Respective solid tone bodies 1 are arranged at specific intervals and packaged in close contact. To open this vacuum pack 2, the outside air is only introduced to the pack by cutting one end edge of the pack and the solid state of toner is maintained even after the outside air is introduced. Therefore, while the bag constituting the vacuum pack 2 is held without gripping toner directly in the hand, block shape toner is only fallen in a toner hopper from the cut opening 2a. At this time, the toner is in a block shape, so no toner powder is scattered to the periphery. The solid toner 1 entering in the vacuum pack 2 are pressed from outside with atmospheric pressure, so they never change in shape and are held in their molding shape.</p> |
