Abstract:
There is provided an image forming apparatus that includes couplings for photoreceptor drums, couplings for waste toner transporting screws, and couplings for developing rollers, that transmit driving force to each of a plurality of driving shafts for driving a process portion that performs image formation by an electrophotographic method, and a plurality of coupling attaching/detaching members for attaching/detaching the plurality of coupling members, so as to drive the process portion. In the image forming apparatus, the plurality of coupling attaching/detaching members are provided so as to be movable independently, and the image forming apparatus includes a coupling attaching/detaching member driving mechanism that operates the coupling attaching/detaching members in association with each other.
