Abstract
Methods of transferring powder toner and filling a toner container or a development mechanism of an electronographic image forming apparatus with powder toner include the steps of providing a toner fluidization mechanism on a surface of deposit of the powder toner stored in a toner storage container, burying the toner fluidization mechanism into the deposit, supplying gas to the powder toner, and removing fluidized toner to transfer to a different location. An apparatus for filling with powder toner includes a toner container, and an apparatus for transferring powder toner including a toner storage container, a toner fluidization mechanism buried into the powder toner, an air supply mechanism for supplying air to the toner fluidization mechanism, an air suction mechanism for removing fluidized powder toner, a transfer mechanism for transferring the removed powder toner to a different location, and a vibration application mechanism for applying vibration to the toner fluidization mechanism.
