Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a developer replenishing device, a fixing device, a press-contact adjustment mechanism, first and second driving transmission mechanisms, and a driving switching mechanism. The image forming unit forms a developer image on a recording medium. The developer replenishing device and the fixing device are detachable. The developer replenishing device replenishes a developer. The fixing device includes first and second rotation members. The second rotation member faces the first rotation member. The fixing device fixes the developer image to the recording medium. The press-contact adjustment mechanism adjusts a press-contact state between the first and second rotation members. The first driving transmission mechanism transmits a driving force to the press-contact adjustment mechanism. The second driving transmission mechanism transmits a driving force to the developer replenishing device. The driving switching mechanism couples the driving source to the first or second driving transmission mechanism.
