An image formation apparatus using a hopping method is disclosed. Toner
provided on a moving surface of a toner supporting object is conveyed,
while the toner is hopping on the surface due to an electric field, to a
position that counters a latent image supporting object by movement of
the surface, and is adhered to a latent image formed on the latent image
supporting object. The image formation apparatus includes a supply member
for scooping up the toner in a toner container by plural hollows formed
on a surface of the supply member with endless movement of the surface of
the supply member, for conveying the toner to a position where the supply
member contacts the toner supporting object, and for providing the toner
to the surface of the toner supporting object.
