Abstract:
A first drawer configured to support a drum cartridge moves in a first direction between a first mount position and a first detachment position. A second drawer configured to support a development cartridge moves in the first direction between a second mount position and a second detachment position. The second drawer is located between the first drawer located at the first mount position and a cover located at a closed position with respect to the first direction in a state where the second drawer is located at the second mount position. A lock member moves between a lock position at which the first drawer and the second drawer are locked together and a lock release position at which a lock state between the first drawer and the second drawer is released. A lock release member causes the lock member at the lock position to move to the lock release position.
