IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus and the like capable of suppressing powder-clogging. SOLUTION: A fifth transporting mechanism 150 includes a tubular member 151 forming a waste toner transporting path. The fifth transporting mechanism 150 also includes a transporting member 152 disposed in the tubular member 151 to transport the waste toner transported from a fourth transporting mechanism 140. The mechanism 150 also includes a second tubular member 156 formed integrally with the tubular member 151, and forming a second passage path 155B. The volume of a waste toner accumulation cavity (accumulation part) formed by the second tubular member 156 is equal to or larger than the volume of the waste toner located between a first discharge outlet 151A and a second discharge outlet 151B and discharged from the second discharge outlet 151B.
