Abstract:
Provided is an image forming apparatus including an apparatus main body, an operation member, a toner container, a shutter, and an interlocking mechanism. The operation member is a member for turning on and off a power supply of the apparatus main body, and takes an ON posture and an OFF posture. The toner container is a container configured to store the toner and including an opening section configured to allow communication between the inside and the outside of the container. The shutter can take an opening posture for opening the opening section and a closing posture for closing the opening section. The interlocking mechanism interlocks the posture of the operation member and the posture of the shutter to set the shutter in the opening posture when the operation member takes the ON posture and to set the shutter in the closing posture when the operation member takes the OFF posture.
