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 5):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n the developing apparatus according to  claim 1 ; an image carrying body on which the electrostatic latent image is formed; and a hardware processor that controls the developing apparatus, wherein the hardware processor controls to transfer toner contained in a developer carried by the developer carrying body to the image carrying body and develop the electrostatic latent image to form an image formed of the toner.
