An image forming apparatus includes a developing device, a replaceable
developing material container that contains developing material, a
coupling member that couples the developing device to the developing
material container, and a controller. The controller calculates a value
obtained by calculating replacement time of the developing material
container, on a developing material amount obtained by subtracting a
developing material amount filled in the coupling member from a
developing material amount contained in the attached developing material
container, when the developing material container is attached and an
installation sequence to fill the coupling member with developing
material is performed. The image forming apparatus further includes a
display that displays information indicating the replacement time of the
developing material container based on the value calculated by the
controller.
