Abstract

In an image forming apparatus, a cartridge is detachably mounted in a frame, the cartridge being located at a mounted position in the frame when the image forming apparatus is packaged with the cartridge mounted in the frame, the mounted position being defined in the frame in a mounting direction, in which the cartridge moves relative to the frame so as to be mounted in the frame. An attachment member is detachably attached to the cartridge when the image forming apparatus is packaged with the cartridge mounted in the frame. A restricting mechanism restricts mounting of the cartridge to the mounted position if the attachment member is attached to the cartridge, the restricting mechanism restricting the mounting of the cartridge at a position upstream of the mounted position in the mounting direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus of an electrophotographic type. Background technique [0002] There is known a type of printer that has an apparatus main body to which a cartridge is detachably attached. [0003] In order to suppress an increase in cost that may occur during shipment and transportation of the printer due to the increase in package size, it is necessary to include a cartridge in the printer when packaging the printer. [0004] Therefore, there has been proposed a printer in which a cartridge is contained in a main casing and packaged together. In order to prevent contact and damage of the cartridge and the device main body due to vibration and impact that may occur when the package is shipped and transported, such printers include an urging member for restricting movement of the cartridge relative to the device main body of the printer. Such a printer is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Applicatio...
