Embodiment Construction

[0033]Hereinafter, the image forming apparatus 100 will be described below with reference to the reference. In the following description, the vertical direction D1 is defined in the state of the image forming apparatus 100. Further, the front-rear direction D2 is defined as the image forming apparatus 100 is inserted as the image forming apparatus 100 as an eye (front side). Further, the image forming apparatus 100 is observed from the front side (front side) to define the left-right direction D3.

[0034] (The structure of the image forming apparatus 100)

[0035] The image forming apparatus 100 is an apparatus having at least printed functions, for example a color printer. The image forming apparatus 100 uses a developer containing a toner (an example of the developer of the present invention), and is printed on a printing paper as a sheet body. Specific examples of the image forming apparatus 100 are, for example, a printer, a copy, a fax, or a digital composite machine with th...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for removing restrictions on the attachment and detachment of an image forming apparatus and a developer storage unit, which can suppress the replacement of the developer storage unit before detecting that the developer is exhausted, and can correct the problem when the type of the developer storage unit is detected incorrectly. This false detection is handled. An image forming apparatus includes a lock mechanism, a restriction processing unit, and a second release processing unit. A locking mechanism is provided on each mounting portion, and can restrict attachment and detachment of the developer storage portion mounted to the mounting portion. When a specific type of developer storage unit is attached to all mounting units and there is a lock mechanism that does not restrict attachment or detachment, the restriction processing unit restricts attachment and detachment of the developer storage unit by the lock mechanism. When no specific type of developer storage unit is attached to one or more attachment units and all lock mechanisms are restricted from being attached to or removed from, the second release processing unit releases the restriction on attachment and detachment of the developer storage unit from all lock mechanisms.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus and a release method of a loading limit of the developer storage portion performed by an image forming apparatus. Background technique [0002] The image forming apparatus of the locking mechanism capable of restricting the loading of each developer storage portion of the storage developer has been known. In such an image forming apparatus, in order to reduce the residual amount of the developer in the developer storage portion, the developer at which the developer accommodating portion is detected, and the shadow is restricted. dismantle. [0003] Further, in the image forming apparatus, when the developer housed in the developer storage portion mounted in the apparatus storage portion is not suitable for the device, the quality of the image printed by the apparatus is sometimes reduced. Therefore, in the image forming apparatus, it is sometimes necessary to determine whether the developer storage...
