Abstract:
An electrophotographic image forming apparatus includes for example a toner supply unit including a toner containing unit and a toner discharging unit having a toner outlet; a photoreceptor unit including a photoreceptor; a development unit including a development roller that supplies toner to develop the electrostatic latent image on the photoreceptor and a supply roller that supplies toner to the development roller; a first toner supply member that supplies toner of the toner containing unit to the toner discharging unit; and a second toner supply member that transports toner of the toner discharging unit to the toner outlet. The first toner supply member is located in a second quadrant from among first through fourth quadrants based on a vertical line and a horizontal line which intersect at the second toner supply member, and the photoreceptor, the supply roller, and the development roller are located in the fourth quadrant.
