    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a toner container, and a lock drive portion. The toner container is attached to an attachment position set in an apparatus main body. The lock drive portion acquires a identification information from a storage portion, and upon determining, based on the identification information, that the toner container has an attachment compatibility, places a lock member at a lock position, and upon determining that the toner container does not have the attachment compatibility, places the lock member at a unlock position.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a cover, a container holder, a detecting unit and a movable member. The cover opens/closes an opening attaching/detaching a toner container. The container holder is supported movably within the opening by attaching the toner container. The detecting unit includes a switching part switching a first position detecting an attaching condition of the toner container and a second position detecting a not-attaching condition of the toner container. The movable member interlocks with an opening/closing operation of the cover and switches the switching part of the detecting unit by moving. The movable member can move in a switching direction of the switching part from the second position to the first position when the cover is closed in the attaching condition. The movable member is restricted from moving in the switching direction by the container holder when the cover is closed in the not-attaching condition.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a toner container, a support member, a lock member, a lock removing portion, and a moving mechanism. The toner container is attachable to an attachment position in an apparatus main body. The support member supports the toner container which is moved between the attachment position and a detachment position located toward a surface of the apparatus main body. The lock member is provided on the support member, is movable in a first direction along the surface, and is displaced between a lock position where the toner container is locked to the attachment position and a removal position. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the lock removing portion moves the lock member to the removal position to remove a lock of the toner container. The moving mechanism moves the toner container toward the detachment position when the lock removing portion removes the lock.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus according to the present disclosure includes an apparatus body, a toner container, a container supporting portion, and an exterior member. The toner container is configured to be attached at an attachment position that is specified inside the apparatus body. The container supporting portion is configured to support the toner container such that the toner container is movable between the attachment position and a pull-out position that is separated from the attachment position by a specific distance toward a specific first surface of the apparatus body. The exterior member is provided on the toner container, and constitutes an exterior of the first surface when the toner container is in an attached state, where the toner container is held at the attachment position by the container supporting portion.

    Abstract: An image forming device includes an exposure device configured to emit exposure light and an air flow generator configured to generate an air flow. The exposure device includes a heat source that generates heat and a heat sink configured to dissipate the heat. The heat sink includes a plurality of fins located inside the air flow. The plurality of fins extend in a direction parallel to a direction where the air flow flows and are arrayed in a direction orthogonal to the direction where the air flow flows. The plurality of fins are formed so as to increase in height from an upstream side toward a downstream side in the direction where the air flow flows.

    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a pair of cursor members movable in a width direction, and guide grooves configured to guide the cursor member to move in the width direction. The cursor member includes a cursor base, a cursor rising portion being in contact with or in proximity to an end of the sheet, and a connecting portion. The cursor base has a cursor plane extending in parallel to a sheet loading face with a difference of step with respect to the sheet loading face. An edge in the width direction of the cursor base extends linearly. The connecting portion extends from the sheet loading face side to a reverse side via the guide groove at a portion in the feeding direction of the inside edge of the cursor base. The connecting portion has a face connecting portion which connects the sheet loading face with the cursor plane smoothly.
