摘要:
An image forming apparatus is provided, which is capable of using such a toner cartridge preferentially without interrupting an image forming action as is desired for an early use and which has the least toner remaining amount. When a toner density in a developer container (15K) to be supplied with the toner from either of two toner cartridges (8K1,8K2) becomes low, a control section (7) drives either of motors (9K1,9K2) in response to toner remaining amount detection information which is information on the remaining amount of the toner contained in each of the toner cartridges, so that the toner may be supplied from the toner cartridge having the least toner remaining amount. Thus, the toner can be supplied to the developer container (15K) from the toner cartridge (8) having the least toner remaining amount.
