A cartridge storing a recording agent includes an opening through which the stored recording agent is discharged, and a cover member closing the opening. Further, a non-contact IC tag that stores information concerning the cartridge is attached to the cartridge. An image forming apparatus includes a communication unit that communicates with the IC tag for transmitting and receiving information, and an actuator that operates on the basis of the information obtained by this communication. The operation for opening the cover member is controlled by this actuator.
