PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify a constitution for recycling and using recovered toner in an electrophotographic device forming an image by using plural kinds of toner. SOLUTION: As for this electrophotographic device, a detecting means 35 is constituted of a counting part 36 calculating dot number by the kinds of toner in the case of writing and a calculating part 37 calculating mixing rate based on a calculated value. This device is provided with a deciding means 38 deciding the recovered toner carried direction based on the detection result of the means 35 and a toner distributing means 39 distributing the recovered toner based on the decision. In the case of recording, the recovered toner is distributed and returned to a first developing device 23 by the means 39 so as to be recycled and used, or the recovered toner is fed to a discharged toner container 41 so as to be discharged without being returned to the device 23. |
