ABSTRACT:
Provided is an image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes a developer operating after being inserted in a body of the image forming apparatus and forming an image on a recording medium. A cover opens or closes the body such that the developer may be inserted in or removed from the body. A switchgear transmits a driving force to the developer or blocks the driving force from being transmitted to the developer according to whether the cover opens or closes the body. Therefore, gears are not damaged when the developer is inserted in or removed from the body of the image forming apparatus.
