ABSTRACT:
A toner supplying device for use in an image forming system includes a cleaner portion for removing a residual toner from a photosensitive medium of the image forming system so as to store the residual toner therein, and a toner supplying portion, integrally formed with the cleaner portion, having a compartment for storing toner and a mechanism for supplying the toner to a developing unit so that a toner image is formed on a copy sheet in accordance with an electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive medium. In this device, the toner supplying portion includes an agitator member for agitating the toner within the toner supplying portion so as to prevent the toner from sticking to an inside wall of the toner supplying portion.
