COLOR IMAGE FORMING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a color image forming device whose safety is high and where waste toner accumulated inside a waste toner box is prevented from being scattered to the outside even in a state where an image forming unit is detached. SOLUTION: The waste toner discharged from image forming units 7 to 10 and a belt cleaning unit 11 is carried to the outside of the area of an intermediate transfer belt 2, passes through waste toner recovery ports 12a to 12e, drops into a waste toner carrying part 12 and is carried. A waste toner shutter 13 is ordinarily positioned in a state where the ports 12a to 12e are opened and arranged at a position in a state where the ports 12a to 12e are closed in the case of detaching the units 7 to 10 from the image forming device. Therefore, the waste toner is prevented from being scattered to the outside from the ports 12a to 12e, and the inside and the periphery of the image forming device are not soiled by the toner.
