Developer conveyance

Developer in the developing unit is supplied by the agitator plate [4] to the developing roller [2]. The thickness of
developer attaching to the developing roller is restricted by the developer restriction blade [5]. After completion
of transfer to the drum [1], developer remaining on the developing roller is sent back to the agitator screws [3].
The 2 agitator screws rotate in the same direction to obtain an improved conveyability when developer is
changed.
