ABSTRACT:
A wet-type electrophotographic image forming apparatus comprises a main body, a developing unit disposed inside the main body, a developer cartridge for providing developer to and collecting developer from the developing unit, and a fitting unit for connecting the developer cartridge with the developing unit. The fitting unit comprises a first fitting part disposed in the main body, a second fitting part disposed in the developer cartridge, and a third fitting part disposed in the developing unit. The fitting unit is connected to and disconnected from the second and third fitting parts by raising and lowering the parts. The method of setting up the system includes the step of raising a first female fitting part to connect first and second female fitting parts with a male fitting part.
