ABSTRACT:
A developer container that contains a two-component developer including a carrier and toner includes a developer containing portion configured to include a plurality of surfaces and to accommodate the two-component developer and a cap configured to communicate to a suction pump so that the two-component developer is sucked by the suction pump and is conveyed to a developing unit. The developer containing portion is configured to include an internal space having at least 12% of an air space measured after the two-component developer is packed in the developer containing portion and left still for at least 24 hours.
