Abstract:
A developing apparatus includes: a developer carrying body that carries a developer and is rotationally driven; a developer stirring member that is rotationally driven and thereby stirs the developer and conveys the developer to the developer carrying body; and a developer recovery member that is rotationally driven and thereby returns and recovers the developer stripped from the developer carrying body after development of the electrostatic latent image, to the developer stirring member, wherein a driving speed of the developer stirring member and a driving speed of the developer recovery member are independently controllable from each other.

Claim (Index 9):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the hardware processor controls a driving speed of the developer stirring member on the basis of a durability state of the developer carrying body.
