Zusammenfassung:An imaging system includes a stirring device to stir a developer, a rotatable developer carrier to carry the developer a non-magnetic regulator, a secondary regulator, an excess developer conveyance path extending from the developer carrier and between the non-magnetic regulator and the secondary regulator, a toner supply path to supply a toner to the stirring device, and a merging portion where the toner supply path and the excess developer conveyance path merge. The non-magnetic regulator and the secondary regulator regulate the thickness of the developer carried by the developer carrier. Excess developer from the developer carrier is conveyed via the excess developer conveyance path. The merging region controls the supply of the toner from the toner supply path to the stirring device based, at least in part, on an amount of the excess developer received from the excess developer conveyance path.
