Example Embodiment

[0037] Hereinafter, an image forming apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the vertical direction D1 is defined based on the state in which the image forming apparatus 10 is installed. In addition, the front-rear direction D2 is defined by taking the side where the toner container 41 and the waste toner container 81 are inserted with respect to the image forming apparatus 10 as the immediate side (front side). In addition, the image forming apparatus 10 is viewed from the front side (front side) to define the left-right direction D3.

[0038] [Image forming apparatus]

[0039] The image forming apparatus 10 is an apparatus having at least a printing function, for example, a color printer. The image forming apparatus 10 uses a developer containing toner to print an image on a printing paper as a sheet member. In addition, a specific example of the image forming apparatus 10 ...

Abstract

An image forming device (10) is provided with a toner replenishing section (40), a waste toner recovery section (80), and a toner container (41). The toner container is configured so as to be capableof being removably mounted to each of the toner replenishing section and the waste toner recovery section. The toner container has: a first lever (61) which can be switched to a first position (P1) and to a second position (P2); and a second lever (62) which can be switched to a third position (P3) and to a fourth position (P4). The toner replenishing section has: a first operation section (101) which, in a process in which the toner container is mounted to the toner replenishing section, prevents the mounting of the toner container; and a second operation section (121) which switches the second lever to the fourth position. The waste toner recovery section has: a third operation section (102) which, in a process in which the toner container is mounted to the waste toner recovery section,prevents the mounting of the toner container; and a fourth operation section (142) which switches the first lever to the second position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus capable of mounting a toner container for storing toner for replenishment and a toner container for storing recovered waste toner. Background technique [0002] A developing device is incorporated in an electrophotographic image forming apparatus. A developer including toner is accommodated inside the developing device. The developing device develops an electrostatic latent image formed on an image carrier such as a photosensitive drum with toner contained in the developer. The toner image developed on the image carrier is fixed on printing paper by a fixing device. Toner that was not transferred to the printing paper at the time of fixing may remain on the image carrier after fixing. Therefore, conventionally known is a waste toner recovery device that removes toner remaining on an image carrier and recovers it as waste toner. [0003] Such a waste toner recovery device is provided with a...
