    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toner processing system capable of supplying low adhesive charged toner particles for the purpose of electrophotographic development. SOLUTION: Non-charged toner is collected from a fluidized bed storage chamber 76 by combined electrodes 92 and 94 on a supply body. This toner layer is charged by a corona device 300 and used to develop an electrostatic latent image 14 in a developing area 310. The remaining toner is neutralized by another corona device 400 and peeled by applying alternating current(AC) voltage between a supply body and the proximate electrodes, then it is restored to the fluidized bed. The toner particles have low adhesive force by ion charge, and are developed only by direct current(DC) electric field. The dissociation of the particles can be enhanced over the proximate electrode in the developing area 310 by the AC voltage. In addition to making the toner appropriate flow, dry powder toner is mixed interlockingly with the ion charge in the storage chamber 76, whereby ordered color development is achieved in this developing system.
