A developer quality monitoring device for monitoring the mixed state of toners and carriers in the developer used for developing a latent image formed on a recording medium, wherein a developer circulating mechanism and a toner density detector are used in common, an electrical signal representative of a decrement of toner density and a magnitude of pulsations is produced, and by using this electrical signal, decay condition of the developer is monitored and decay condition limit is discriminated. |
