Image forming apparatus

摘要

An image-forming apparatus is provided with a photosensitive drum rotatably located in a housing, and a developing device for developing the latent image formed on the surface of the photosensitive drum. A first developing unit of the developing device develops the latent image by a first red developing agent. A second developing unit develops the latent image by a second black developing agent. The first and second developing units are alernatively driven by a switch provided on a control panel which is located on the housing. A copy mode for black is automatically established when the power is turned on or if no operation is performed for a prescribed time after a foregoing copying operation, in a mode for any other color than black, is ended.
