ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus has a driven image forming part for forming an image. A data supply device has at least one moving portion for supplying data to the image forming apparatus. For example, it may be a hard disk device or a toner sensor having an oscillator, both of which generate noise. A controller actuates the data supply device only during operation of the image forming part, and so the noise is not bothersome to the user.
