An image forming apparatus (1) includes an image carrying member (11), a development unit (13), a first driving unit (91), a second driving unit (92), and a cleaning blade (15a). The image carrying member (11) forms a latent image thereon. The development unit (13) develops the latent image formed on the image carrying member (11). The first driving unit (91) drives the image carrying member (11). The second driving unit (92) drives the development unit (13). The cleaning blade (15a), contactable against the image carrying member (11), removes materials including toner remaining on the image carrying member (11). When an agent-empty development unit is filled with a developing agent, the second driving unit (92) is activated to start a driving of the development unit (13), and the first driving unit (91) is activated to start a driving of the image carrying member (11) after starting a developing agent filling operation to the development unit (13). |
