Abstract

The present invention provides a method for removing restrictions on attachment and detachment of an image forming apparatus and a developer accommodating portion, which can reduce the residual amount of developer in the developer accommodating portion during replacement, and can remove sheets that cause paper jams inside the apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes a plurality of lock mechanisms, a first release processing unit, and a second release processing unit. The locking mechanism can restrict attachment and detachment of the developer accommodating portion attached to the attachment portion. The first release processing unit releases the restriction on attachment and detachment of the developer accommodating unit in a specific state in which the remaining amount of developer is less than a predetermined reference amount. The second release processing unit can release the restriction on attachment and detachment of a plurality of developer accommodating units corresponding to a plurality of image forming units including at least an image forming unit adjacent to an image forming unit in which an abnormality has been detected unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus that uses a developer to form an image, and a method for releasing a restriction on attachment and detachment of a developer storage unit performed by the image forming apparatus. Background technique [0002] In an image forming apparatus such as a printer capable of forming color images, a plurality of image forming units are provided. For example, in such an image forming apparatus, a plurality of image forming units are arranged side by side in a conveying direction of a sheet conveyed by a sheet conveying unit that conveys a sheet. The plurality of image forming units sequentially overlap and form images on the sheet conveyed by the sheet conveying unit. Such an image forming apparatus is equipped with a plurality of developer storage portions for storing developer such as toner to be supplied to the image forming unit. In addition, in such an image forming apparatus, the user can repla...
