It is an object of the present invention to provide an image forming device to which a cartridge containing image forming material is removably installed, and with which, if a non-guaranteed cartridge is installed which is not the object of a product quality guarantee by the maker, the task of exchanging this cartridge can be performed simply and accurately. The image forming device to which a cartridge containing image forming material is removably installed, and which performs image forming using the image forming material contained in the cartridge, includes a detection portion that detects whether or not the cartridge which is installed is a non-guaranteed cartridge which is not the object of a product quality guarantee, and a shift portion that, when the detection portion detects that the cartridge which is installed is a non-guaranteed cartridge, shifts the non-guaranteed cartridge to a position in which a cartridge can be exchanged.
