• a toner container that has a width extending in the first direction to receive and store the toner conveyed by the conveyance member across the width;
• an elastic body that supports the toner container against a weight of the toner container so that at least one end of the toner container is movable within a range greater than that of another part of the toner container;
• and
• a moving member that moves in accordance with a movement of one end of the toner container, when the elastic body elastically deformed caused by an increase in an amount of toner stored in the toner container;
• an image-forming unit that forms a toner image to be transferred onto a recording medium;
• an intermediate transfer medium on which the formed toner image is transferred;
• a first transfer unit that transfers the formed toner image onto the intermediate transfer medium;
