ABSTRACT:
An image forming system including a plurality of image forming apparatuses is disclosed. The image forming apparatuses is of the type electrostatically forming a latent image representative of a document on an image carrier, developing it with a developing device, and transferring the resulting image to a recording medium. A single developer source is included in the system and delivers a developer to all the image forming apparatuses. The shared developer source reduces the space to be occupied by the individual image forming apparatus and insures high operation efficiency and maintenance efficiency.
