Abstract:
A developing device which includes a developing roller which supplies a toner to a photoreceptor and a supply roller which performs supply of a toner to the developing roller and peeling of a toner from the developing roller, and applies a bias voltage to the developing roller so as to develop an electrostatic latent image formed on the photoreceptor with a toner. The developing device includes a first current measuring portion which measures a value of a current flowing in the developing roller, a second current measuring portion which measures a value of a current flowing in the supply roller, and a control portion which calculates a toner charging amount on the developing roller and a toner peeled amount by the supply roller based on measured results by the first current measuring portion and the second current measuring portion.
