Abstract
An image forming apparatus is provided that includes a first transmission mechanism transmitting a driving force from a driving source to a first development roller, a second transmission mechanism transmitting the driving force from the driving source to a second development roller, and a drive switching mechanism disposed between the driving source and the first transmission mechanism and between the driving source and the second transmission mechanism, the drive switching mechanism including a switching gear movable along a rotational axis direction of the first development roller, between a first position to transmit the driving force to the first transmission mechanism and the second transmission mechanism, and a second position to restrict the driving force from being transmitted from the driving source to the first transmission mechanism and allow the driving force to be transmitted from the driving source to the second transmission mechanism.
