Abstract
A developing device has a structure in which a toner is supplied from a toner supplying container to a first toner container by a toner supplying device and also the toner is conveyed from the first toner container to a second toner container by a toner conveying member disposed so as to lie in the space between the first and second toner containers. Thus, the developing device has a reduced size and also stably supplies the toner to two developing rollers corresponding to the first and second toner containers.
