Abstract

The gap between a magnetic sensor and a fitting member supporting the magnetic sensor and the surface of the magnetic sensor are coated with thin nonmagnetic coating materials having small surface friction to prevent the developer from being introduced into the gap and adhered therein. Smooth flow of the developer is maintained, and the stable and accurate detection of the condition or ratio of the developer is ensured.
