PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify toner replenishment operation by using a carrying means, so that a developing device is taken in and out linked with the open/close of a developing cover. SOLUTION: The developing device 125 and the developing cover 127 are connected by a drawing arm 160. One end of the arm 160 is connected to the cover 127 by a supporting shaft 160a, and an oblong-hole-state guide 160b is formed on the other end of the arm 160. When the cover 127 is opened in a state where a locking lever 50 is disengaged from a pawl receiver 127c, the arm 160 is drawn out, and a positioning roller 154 engaged with the guide 160b is also drawn out. Thus, the device 125 is also drawn out from a main body part 11, and the carrying roller 125a of the device 125 is stopped at a position where the roller 125a abuts on the guide roller 127d of the cover 127. This position is the one for a toner replenishment position where the device 125 is replenished with toner. Therefore, the toner replenishment operation is simplified. |
