An apparatus which develops an electrostatic latent image recorded on a photoconductive member with toner. The toner in the chamber of the developer housing is fluidized and transported thereacross by an elongated member. A donor roller advances the toner particles to a latent image recorded on a photoconductive member. A rotating rod resiliently urged into contact with the donor roller charges the toner on the donor roller. In order to attract toner particles to the donor roller, the elongated member and the charging rod are electrically biased by voltages having the same polarity. The elongated member and the charging rod are electrically biased by voltages of opposite polarity to denude the donor roller of toner particles.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
An apparatus for developing a latent image recorded on a surface, including: a housing defining a chamber storing a supply of marking particles therein; means, disposed in the chamber of said housing, for moving the marking particles; a donor member spaced from the surface and adapted to transport marking particles to a development zone adjacent the surface; means for charging the marking particles being advanced into contact with the latent image by said donor member; means for electrically biasing said moving means to a voltage having a selected magnitude and polarity; and means for electrically biasing said charging means to a first voltage having the same polarity as the voltage electrically biasing said moving means to attract marking particles to said donor member and to a second voltage opposite in polarity to that of the first voltage to remove marking particles from said donor member.
2.
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said charging means regulates the quantity of marking particles being transported by said donor member.
3.
An apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said charging means includes: a rotating rod; and means for resiliently urging said rod closely adjacent to said donor roller.
4.
An apparatus according to claim 3, further including means for cleaning said rod to remove marking particles therefrom.
5.
An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said cleaning means includes a blade having one end thereof contacting said rod.
6.
An apparatus according to claim 1, further including means for discharging additional marking particles into the chamber of said housing.
7.
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said donor member includes a roller.
8.
An apparatus according to claim 7, wherein said moving means includes a rotatably mounted elongated member disposed interiorly of the chamber of said housing in the region of said donor roller.
9.
An apparatus according to claim 8, wherein said elongated member includes a hollow rod having a plurality of rows with each row having a plurality of apertures therein
