PURPOSE:To change recording bodies eaisly upon occasion without the intervention of a service man, by supplying a change signal to the control system of a recorder after a recording-body cassette containing a new photoreceptor is loaded. CONSTITUTION:When a recording-body storage part 14 containing a new photoreceptor 20 is loaded in a paper feed cassette 7, a paper feed roller 8 is pressed against the new photoreceptor 20 on the bottom plate of a recording-body cassette 13. For example when a change switch is operated, a photoresensitive drum 1 rotates. Further, the paper feed roller 8 and a resist roller 9 also rotate together to feed the new photoreceptor 20 toward the drum 1 and, once the front edge of the new photoreceptor 20 is caught by the resist roller 9, stop rotating. After a claw for locking the photo-receptor end part of a holding part 4 is released, the drum 1 rotates once and an old photoreceptor 2 is peeled off by a guide plate 12 and fed out through a paper feed opening 8. Further, the drum 1 and resist roller 9 rotate to wind the new photoreceptor 20 around the drum 1. |
