PURPOSE:To provide a carrier supplying method and carrier supplying devices for a two-component developing device capable of miniaturizing the device at a low cost by using a carrier supplying means in common for multiple developing devices. CONSTITUTION:In a carrier supplying method, a carrier supplying device is provided with multiple developing devices 4A and a carrier supplying means 22, and the carrier supplying means 22 is used in common for supplying a carrier to the developing devices 4A. In another method, a carrier supplying device is provided with multiple developing devices 4D, a carrier supplying means 40, and a revolver section 27d supporting the developing devices 4D. The carrier supplying means 40 is fitted integrally with the developing devices 4D, and the carrier supplying means 40 is rotated interlockingly with the movement of the developing devices 4D. |
