An image formation device has an image carrier and a development device
(50) into which development units housing toner are detachably installed.
The development units have storage device storing color and toner amount
remaining information. And the image formation device operates in
monochrome printing mode when development units of the same color are
installed. The image formation device has display unit (95) to display
the toner remaining amount in development units, and control unit which
acquires color and toner amount remaining information in the storage
device, and executes control to enable switching between a separate
remaining amount display mode (95A, 95C) to separately display on the
display unit the toner amount remaining in each of installed development
units corresponding to installation positions, and a total remaining
amount display mode (95B, 95D) to display on the display unit the total
toner amount remaining in installed development units of the same color.
