Abstract
An imaging system includes a casing with a developing chamber, a developing roller which is located inside the developing chamber and which carries a toner, and a conveying path which is located adjacent to the developing chamber inside the casing and is used to circulate the toner and to supply the toner to the developing roller. A discharge path includes an inlet, an outlet, and an intermediate portion between the inlet and the outlet. The inlet communicates with the developing chamber in the casing and is located outside the conveying path. The outlet is located between the developing roller and a photoreceptor. The intermediate portion is located outside the casing.
