PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the point of a toner distribution control mechanism in a color printer having a plurality of toner distribution devices by allowing a single toner distribution member provided with a single control mechanism to be moved from a toner supply part to a development unit. SOLUTION: Development stations E, F, G, H are provided with toner distribution devices 102, 104, 106, 108 interlocked with development units 112, 114, 116, 118, respectively. Common wall parts 122, 124, 126, 128 divide the toner distribution devices from each other. The toner of separate color is stored in each toner distribution device and each development unit. A toner moving member is controlled by a toner movement control mechanism 141. The toner moving member 140 is provided with toner movement parts 142, 144, 146, 148 on each of the toner distribution device, and when the toner moving member 140 is operated, all toner movement parts are rotated. |
