Abstract
A developing device comprises a toner separating member placed in contact with a developing roller for developing a latent image on a photoconductive drum into a visible image with nonmagnetic toner conveyed as a one-component developing agent, and a toner feeding roller provided near the toner separating member. The toner separating member allows the toner which has passed on a developing position of the photosensitive drum to be separated from the developing roller. The toner feeding roller allows the separated toner to be transferred toward a toner receiving side of the developing roller.
