PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus in which a developer cartridge having a high frequency in replacement can be easily replaced.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus includes a housing 2 having an opening 21 in an upper part, a top cover 8 arranged above the housing 2 and being rotatable between a closed position where the opening 21 is closed with respect to the housing 2 and an open position where the opening 21 is opened, and a process part 5. The process part 5 includes a developing cartridge 5A including a developer storage part 100 for storing a developer and a photoreceptor cartridge 5B including a photoreceptor drum 51 to which the developer is supplied to form a developer image. The process part 5 is configured to rotate in conjunction with the rotation between the closed position and the open position of the top cover 8, so as to expose the developing cartridge 5A from the opening 21, when the top cover 8 is in the open position. The developing cartridge 5A can be attached to and detached from the housing 2 in such a state that the photoreceptor cartridge 5B remains in the housing 2, when the top cover 8 is in the open position. |
