<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrain running cost of an image forming apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: A plurality of photoreceptors (61A, 62A) arrayed in tandem, a plurality of developing devices and a plurality of developer containers (100, 62G) are positioned and held in a casing (10). A holding member (65) which can be drawn out in the tandem array direction through an opening of the case is slidably moved between a first position where the plurality of photoreceptors, the plurality of developing devices and the plurality of developer containers are all stored in the casing, and a second position where at least the developer container disposed at the inmost side in the drawing direction among the plurality of developer containers can be replaced. The developer container (100) disposed closest to this side in the drawing direction separates from the corresponding developing device to be independently replaced, and stores a black developer, and the other developer containers (62G) can be replaced integrally with the corresponding developing devices. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
