Abstract

The invention is directed to a method and to an apparatus for setting a metering gap in a developer station (1). The developer station (1) includes a magnetic drum (5) that comprises a preceding metering device for the acceptance of a developer mix (6) and for forming a uniformly distributed developer mix (6), whereby the metering gap (2) is formed between the magnetic drum (5) and the metering device and the metering device is formed by a metering profile (3). The metering profile (3) is adjustably held such at both axial ends by a respective eccentric (4) that a setting of the width of the metering gap (2) ensues by turning the respective eccentric (4). The eccentrics (4) are adjustable independently of one another.
