Abstract:
An image forming apparatus prevents a situation in which in place of a container in which developer remains, a container other than the container is mounted. A toner bottle containing developer to be replenished to the developing device is mounted to a toner replenishment section. A sensor detects amount of developer in the developing device, and in a case where the detected amount of the developer is smaller than a predetermined amount, a first screen for prompting a user to replace the toner bottle is displayed. In a case where the toner bottle is removed without determining that the toner bottle satisfies a replacement condition, a second screen for prompting the user to remount the removed toner bottle is displayed. In a case where the detected amount of the developer is smaller than the predetermined amount while the second screen is displayed, the second screens continues to be displayed.

Claim (Index 7):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein in a state in which the second screen is not displayed, the display reduces brightness of the display on condition that a predetermined time period elapses without any operation on the display, whereas in a state in which the second screen is displayed, the display does not reduce the brightness of the display even after the predetermined time period elapses without any operation on the display.
