PURPOSE:To eliminate necessity for interrupting operation for image forming while replacing supplies by providing an opening for loading and unloading supplies in the main body of an image forming device on the outer part thereof and providing an opening cover on this opening which does not interrupt the operation for image forming when opened. CONSTITUTION:A front door cover 23 forming a part of the outer part of a copying machine main body 100 has a hinge part 24 for a supporting point and can be opened and closed. The opening and closing cover 25 is attached to the door cover 23 so as to be opened and closed. When a toner cartridge is replaced, the cover 25 in the erect position is pressed once and opened in the horizontal position. That is, the door cover 23 needs not to be opened. Then, a used toner cartridge 27 is pulled out from a cartridge loading and unloading path 28 and removed out of the device. At this time, the operation for image forming is continued in parallel. |
