Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a cover, a cooperating member, a switching member, a detector, and a controller. The cover opens and closes an aperture in a main body of the image forming apparatus. The cooperating member moves to an activated position when the cover is opened for the first time. The activated position is a position where the cooperating member is enabled to cooperate with the cover. The switching member moves in cooperation with the cover through the cooperating member in the activated position as the cover is opened and closed. The detector detects an open state or a closed state of the cover according to the movement of the switching member. The controller determines that image formation is enabled when the detector has detected the closed state of the cover.

Claim (Index 5):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the aperture is a toner container mounting aperture through which a toner container is attached and detached, the image forming apparatus further comprises a movable member supported so as to move in a specific direction as a result of the toner container being attached thereto, when the cover is closed with the toner container attached to the movable member, the movable member permits the switching member to move in a direction for causing the detector to detect the closed state of the cover, and when the cover is closed without the toner container attached to the movable member, the movable member restricts the switching member from moving in the direction for causing the detector to detect the closed state of the cover.
