An electrophotographic image forming apparatus for forming an image on a
recording material, to which a process cartridge is detachably mountable,
the apparatus, includes (a) a plurality of mounting portions for
detachably mounting process cartridges, respectively, the process
cartridges each including, an electrophotographic photosensitive drum, a
developing roller for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on
the electrophotographic photosensitive drum, a developer accommodating
portion for accommodating a developer for use by the developing roller to
develop the electrostatic latent image, a developer supply opening for
supplying the developer to the developing roller from the developer
accommodating portion, a sealing member for unsealably sealing the
developer supply opening, and unsealing means for unsealing the developer
supply opening by removing the sealing member from the developer supply
opening; (b) a motor; and (c) driving force transmitting means for
selectively transmitting a driving force from the motor to the unsealing
means to unseal the developer supply openings of the process cartridges
mounted to the mounting portions.
