A control device selects one target attachment portion from a plurality of attachment portions and selects the new target attachment portion in a predefined order whenever a sense state of a remaining-amount sensing device for a target storing unit attached to the target attachment portion changes from a developer-present state to a developer-empty state. An attachment sensing device senses an attachment state in which a plurality of developer storing units is attached to the plurality of respective attachment portions. A replacement operation sensing device senses a replacement operation on any of the plurality of developer storing units. The control device outputs a replacement error notification to a display device in a case where an attachment sensing condition that the attachment state of the target attachment portion is sensed by the attachment sensing device is not established when the replacement operation is sensed.
