Zusammenfassung:To provide a configuration that, when a user supplies toner from a toner cartridge to a process unit, can rotate an agitating member while stopping a conveying roller that conveys a sheet.SOLUTION: A body housing 10 comprises: a first motor M1 that can drive an agitator 34 as an example of an agitating member and a conveying roller; and an electromagnetic clutch C1 that can switch between a transmission state in which a driving force from the first motor M1 can be transmitted to the conveying roller and a non-transmission state in which the driving force is not transmitted. When a supply unit cover 13 is located at a cover open position, a control unit 70 executes first switching processing of switching the electromagnetic clutch C1 from the transmission state to the non-transmission state, and subsequently executes first motor driving processing of driving the first motor M1.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11 【課題】ユーザが、トナーカートリッジからプロセスユニットにトナーを補給する際に、シートを搬送する搬送ローラを停止させた状態で、攪拌部材を回転可能な構成を提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】本体筐体10は、攪拌部材の一例としてのアジテータ34と搬送ローラを駆動可能な第1モータM1と、第1モータM1からの駆動力を搬送ローラに伝達可能な伝達状態と、駆動力を伝達しない非伝達状態と、を切り替え可能な電磁クラッチC1と、を備える。制御部70は、補給部カバー13がカバー開位置に位置する場合に、制御部70は、電磁クラッチC1を伝達状態から非伝達状態に切り替える第1切替処理を実行し、その後、第1モータM1を駆動する第1モータ駆動処理を実行する。【選択図】 図11
