<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device in which waste toner is not adhered on an upper surface of an inlet shutter opening/closing a waste toner receiving inlet, and capable of certainly preventing toner scattering due to the attachment/detachment of a waste toner cartridge. <P>SOLUTION: An inlet shutter 64 for opening/closing a waste toner receiving inlet 60 is configured to displace about a rotation shaft 72 between a close posture in which a shield wall 65 is in a lying posture and which closes the waster toner receiving inlet 60 and an open posture in which the shield wall 65 is in a vertical posture and which opens the waster toner receiving inlet 60. When a waste toner cartridge 27 is installed to a device body 4, the inlet shutter 64 is displaced from the close posture to the open posture, and then an outlet shutter 42 is displaced from a close position to an open position. Furthermore, when the waste toner cartridge 27 is extracted from the device body 4, the outlet shutter 42 is displaced from the open position to the close position, and then the inlet shutter 64 is displaced from the open posture to the close posture. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
