Abstract
A method for manufacturing an electrophotographic toner having a mean particle diameter of more than 5 &mgr;m and less than 10 &mgr;m. For manufacturing the above size of toner, coarsely pulverized particles are pulverized to medium pulverized particles having a mean particle diameter of more than 10 &mgr;m and not more than 19 &mgr;m at first. Subsequently, the medium pulverized particles are further pulverized to small diameter particles having a mean particle diameter of more than 5 &mgr;m and less than 10 &mgr;m, and thereafter the small diameter particles are classified by a rotor type classifier.
