Abstract (en)

A developing device is equipped with a toner detecting means capable of correctly detecting whether an adequate amount of a magnetic toner is present or not. The toner detecting means comprises a permeability detector (82) having a permeability detection surface (86) exposed to a predetermined region, a periodically flowing means (88) for periodically flowing the toner present in the predetermined region to the permeability detection surface (86) of the permeability detector, and a determination means (98) for analyzing an output signal from the permeability detector. <IMAGE>
