Abstract: A control device permits execution of a print process on condition that an object sensor detects an object at a detection position. A switch mechanism, in accordance with a release operation, releases an interlock between a first displacement member and a closing operation of a cover portion. In a state where a second displacement member is located at an actuation position, a detected portion is located at the detection position. When the second displacement member is located at a retreat position, a first contact portion is not in contact with the cover portion. When the cover portion is closed, the cover portion displaces the second displacement member from a standard position to an actuation position. When the first displacement member is displaced from a first relay position to a second relay position, the first displacement member displaces the second displacement member from the standard position to the retreat position.

The shutter output portion, when located at the opening position, opens a shutter of the developer container, and when located at the closing position, closes the shutter. A main interlocking mechanism causes the shutter output portion to move in conjunction with opening and closing operation of the cover portion such that the shutter output portion is displaced to the opening position when the cover portion is closed, and to the closing position when the cover portion is opened. The main interlocking mechanism includes a switch mechanism that releases an interlock between the shutter output portion and the closing operation of the cover portion in accordance with a release operation, and enables the interlock in accordance with an enabling operation.
