PURPOSE:To prevent a detached developer supplement roller from contacting a floor surface and stabilize installation on the floor by providing the supplement port in the internal bottom surface of a hopper and the developer supplement roller adjacently, and forming a support leg part at the lower end peripheral edge of the hopper. CONSTITUTION:The hopper 38 of a supplement device 37 which is unitized and detachable has the supplement port 39 formed widely in the internal bottom surface 38a and also has the support leg part 40 projecting in one body at its lower end peripheral edge, and the developer supplement roller 41 is supported pivotally and adjacently to the supplement port 39. Therefore, even when the hopper 38 is detached and placed on a floor, etc., for toner replacement, it is set stably and the supplement roller 41 never contacts the floor, etc., so the scratching and deformation of the supplement roller are prevented and the floor, etc., are not stained. |
