Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes image bearers, developing devices, developer containers, and developer supply devices. The image bearers are arranged side by side along a movement direction of an intermediate transferor or a sheet. The developing devices, the developer containers, and the developer supply devices are configured to be rearrangeable for each color in the movement direction in a manner that one or each of a developing device, a developer container, and a developer supply device corresponding to each color of the different colors is detached from and attached to the image forming apparatus, separately from a rest of the developing device, the developer container, and the developer supply device. The image forming apparatus is configured to be available for use when colors of the developing device, the developer container, and the developer supply device correspond to each other after rearrangement.

Claim (Index 4):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the developing device, the developer container, and the developer supply device corresponding to each color include coupling portions to be coupled to each other, wherein the developing device, the developer container, and the developer supply device corresponding to each color are installable in the image forming apparatus to cause the image forming apparatus to be available for use, when the colors of the developing device, the developer container, and the developer supply device correspond to each other after the plurality of developing devices, the plurality of developer containers, and the plurality of developer supply devices are rearranged and the coupling portions are coupled to each other.
