A prediction error calculation part calculates a prediction error for each input data. A prediction error encoding part generates a prediction error code by encoding the value of the prediction error. A run-length counting part counts the run-length of the prediction error. When the value of the prediction error changes, a run-length encoding part generates a run-length code by encoding the run-length counted. A code connecting part generates a connected code by connecting the run-length code to the prediction error code of a corresponding prediction error. When the value of the prediction error is a particular value, a prediction error checking part selects a connected code for the prediction error, as an output code. When the value of the prediction error is a different value, the prediction error checking part selects a prediction error code for the prediction error, as an output code. A code output part outputs the output code selected.

The present invention relates to a recycle developing process which comprises developing an electrostatic image formed on a photosensitive material with a starting developer filled in a developing vessel, transferring the toner image to a predetermined paper, recovering the toner remaining on the photosensitive material by a cleaning means, and repeating the developing procedure while replenishing a virgin toner and the toner recovered by the cleaning means into the developing vessel; wherein the virgin toner to be replenished into the developing vessel is that which is fulfilled in a container wherein a rotating roller is provided in an opening portion at a lower portion has a flowability, shown as a fallen amount of the toner at a time of falling via the rotating roller for a certain fixed time, of 50 to 70% based on the toner in the starting developer. According to this process, an abrupt decrease in the properties of the developer due to the mixing of the recovered toner can be relaxed. As a result, a stable image free from fogging or toner scattering can be formed by the recycle developing process.
