Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an exterior cover, a connector, and an upper exterior member disposed above the exterior cover. The upper exterior member includes a groove portion and projections. In the upper exterior member, the groove portion is formed so as to extend from a first end closer to the connector to a second end closer to one of left and right side ends of the exterior cover. The projections are formed so as to project upward from a lower edge portion of an opening of the groove portion. A cable connected to the connector is inserted in the groove portion. The projections prevent the cable from being dropped from the groove portion.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a driven unit, a coupling mechanism, a driving lever and a locking mechanism. The driven unit is configured to be supported slidably between a storage position and a pull-out position. The driving unit is driven by a driving force from a driving source. The coupling mechanism is configured to be switchable between a transmission state and a transmission release state. The driving lever is slidable between a transmission position and a transmission release position. The locking mechanism is configured to prevent the sliding of the driving lever from the transmission release position toward the transmission position. The sliding of the driving lever from the transmission release position into the transmission state can be permitted by the sliding of the driven unit from the pull-out position into the storage position.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a mounting portion, and a detecting device. The image forming unit forms an image using toner. A toner container of a given type is removably mounted on the mounting portion. The detecting device detects whether or not the toner container has been mounted on the mounting portion. The toner container and the mounting portion respectively include an engaging protrusion and an engaging hole. The engaging protrusion and the engaging hole are engageable with one another. The engaging protrusion and the engaging hole engaged with one another causes the detecting device to detect that the toner container has been mounted on the mounting portion. The engaging protrusion and the engaging hole are of form configured according to the toner container type.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: document reading device; document holder; and first locking device. Document reading device is provided so as to be openable and closable relative to apparatus body. Document holder is provided so as to be openable and closable relative to document reading device. First locking device locks document holder so as to prevent document holder from performing opening operation in the case of the document reading device performing opening operation. Document reading device includes an opening. First locking device includes: locking member, first hook member, and lid member. Locking member is inserted into the opening in a state where document holder is closed relative to document reading device. First hook member is engaged with locking member inserted in the opening, below document placing surface. Lid member is movable between closing position at which the opening is closed, and opening position at which the opening is opened.
