The replacement developing component is fitted with a rotary member including an operating member, and stores toner. The motor rotates the rotary member on the replacement developing component fitted in the accommodating portion. When a new replacement developing component is fitted, the development sensor is not in contact with the operating member before the motor rotates the rotary member and is in contact with the operating member on the rotary member that has moved as the motor rotates. The development sensor outputs a first level when in contact with the operating member and outputs a second level when not in contact with the operating member.

Abstract: A drive motor drives conveyance rollers. A controller generates a control signal to control the drive motor based on information indicating a rotational speed of the drive motor. The controller generates an initial control signal to drive the conveyance rollers since before conveyance of a sheet by the conveyance rollers and acquires a characteristic value of the initial control signal as a reference value. While the conveyance rollers are conveying the sheet, the controller performs determination processing to determine whether or not to stop the drive motor driving the conveyance rollers based on the characteristic value of the control signal and the reference value.
