Image forming device and method that sets a voltage level based on toner amount and impresses the voltage to a developing roller, supply roller and regulating blade

   
   

An image forming device includes a storage device that stores toner, an agitator that agitates the toner in the storage device, a detector that detects an amount of toner in the storage device, and a controller that prohibits an operation of the agitator when the detected amount of toner is equal to or more than a prescribed amount, and permits the operation of the agitator when the amount of toner is less than the prescribed amount. A controller circuit sets a voltage level based on the amount of toner and a biasing circuit impresses the voltage to a developing roller, a supply roller and a regulating blade.
