Abstract:
A black developer is conveyed in a first conveyance chamber in a rotation axis direction while agitating with rotation of a first screw member. A black-toner-concentration detecting sensor detects a toner concentration of the black developer by having contact with the black developer conveyed inside the first conveyance chamber. An average of peak amounts of a pressing force on the black developer, which is conveyed inside the first conveyance chamber by the first screw member, with respect to the black toner-concentration detecting sensor is set within a range of 9.8 15 [N/m2] to 9.8 100 [N/m2].
