ABSTRACT:
If a user is not familiar with the operation for the developer supply container, the rotating operation for the developer supply container may be insufficient, so that developer supply container does not reach a predetermined operating position, with the result of abnormal developer supply. by increasing a rotation load of a second gear6which is in an operable connection with a drive gear member12of the developer receiving apparatus10by a function of a locking member7, the developer supply container1mounted to the developer receiving apparatus10is rotated toward the supply position. After the developer supply container1rotates to the supply position, the locking by the locking member7is released, by which the rotation load applied to the second gear6is reduced, so that drive transmission, thereafter, to the feeding member4for developer supply is smooth.
