IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS WITH MECHANISM FOR RESTRICTING REMOVAL OF DEVELOPING DEVICE

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes a main body housing, an image carrier, a developing device, a developer container, and an interference mechanism. The image carrier is stored in the main body housing and has a circumferential surface on which an electrostatic latent image is formed. The developing device is stored detachably in the main body housing and supplies a developer to the electrostatic latent image to develop the electrostatic latent image. The developer container is stored detachably in the main body housing and supplies the developer to the developing device. The interference mechanism disables the developing device from being removed from the main body housing, in a state in which the developer container is mounted to the main body housing.
