Abstract

PURPOSE:To use a magnetic sensor even in an electrophotographic device, where reversal development of one copy per two rotations is performed, to stabilize the toner concentration by turning off the output of the magnetic sensor, which detects the toner concentration of a magnetic brush developing device, at the time of reversal development process. CONSTITUTION:The output of a magnetic sensor 6 which detects the toner concentration of a magnetic brush developing device 2 is turned off at the time of reversal development process. It is preferable that the output of the magnetic sensor 6 is turned off in response to the switching timing of a bias voltage at the time of reversal development process, and it is preferable that the output is turned on in response to the switching timing of the bias voltage at the time of cleaning process. While the output of the magnetic sensor 6 is turned off, the toner is not replenished at all or is replenished based on the detection value just before turning-off of the output of the magnetic sensor 6. Thus, the output of the magnetic sensor is prevented from being disturbed to stabilize the toner concentration.

However, in the electrophotographic apparatus described above, which is characterized in that the polarity of the bias voltage applied to the developing roll during the cleaning process is switched to the opposite polarity to the polarity during the reversal development process, as shown in FIG. It has been found that, for example, when the developing bias voltage is set to -300 V and the cleaning bias voltage is set to +50 V, the swing range of the magnetic sensor output becomes large and disturbance occurs.

This abnormality in the magnetic sensor output is thought to be caused by the magnetic sensor detecting a change in the standing state of the developer due to the force that attracts carriers in the developer to the surface of the photoreceptor.
