Abstract:
A developer supplying device has a storage container, a detection sensor, and a cleaning member. The storage container stores developer. The detection sensor has a detection face making contact with the developer in the storage container and detects the amount of developer in the storage container. The cleaning member cleans the detection face by making contact with the detection face. The storage container has a sensor movement face formed arc-shaped about a predetermined center as seen in a sectional view. The detection sensor is configured to be movable in the up/down direction along the sensor movement face. The cleaning member rotates about the predetermined center as a rotation axis.

Claim (Index 5):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 4 , further comprising;\n a moving mechanism controlled by the control section, the moving mechanism moving the detection sensor in the up/down along the sensor movement face, and a consumption amount calculating part calculating an amount of developer consumed in printing operation, wherein the control section sets a height position of the detection sensor based on the amount of developer consumed in printing operation during a predetermined period.
