ABSTRACT:
A toner replenishing method for use in a development process of developing latent electrostatic images formed on an electrophotographic photoconductor with a two-component dry developer containing a toner and a carrier, the latent electrostatic images being formed on the electrophotographic photoconductor by uniformly charging the electrophotographic photoconductor to a predetermined potential and exposing the electrically charged photoconductor to light images corresponding to original images, includes the step of replenishing the toner only in a portion of the two-component dry developer as the toner concentration thereof is decreased so as to make up for the used toner in the course of the development of the latent electrostatic images.
