ABSTRACT:
A toner supply device in which a toner cartridge can smoothly be inserted and removed. The toner supply device includes a toner supply device main body capable of removably setting the toner cartridge to a setting position. The toner supply device main body includes a guide tray for guiding the toner cartridge along an insertion direction when the toner cartridge is inserted to and pulled out from the setting position. Thus, the toner cartridge can smoothly be inserted and removed. The guide tray can assume a guide posture for guiding the insertion and removal of the toner cartridge, and a retreat posture where the guide tray is being retreated to a retreat position. Various engagement members on the guide tray secure or release the toner cartridge to or from the guide tray.
