Abstract
A clearance regulating amount L by a clearance regulating member which is provided above a developing roller on a side closer to a photosensitive drum is determined at a size not greater than a height T of a developer at a magnetic pole just downstream of the clearance regulated position. Thus, the scattering of the developer from a developing unit is significantly reduced.
