Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developer supply device which is highly reliable and achieves highly user-friendly attachment and replacement of a developer storage container, while suppressing an increases in the size and cost of the device. SOLUTION: The developer supply device includes: a first drive mechanism A for transmitting drive-for-rotation to a drive shaft by rotating a first rotation shaft 16; an induction cam 14, as a second drive mechanism, which has a second rotatable shaft 15 and causes the second rotation shaft 15 to rotate, thereby moving a bottle holding member 600 to a first position within a device body and to a second position different from the first position, the bottle holding member functioning as a support member for supporting a toner supply device 700; a one-way clutch, as a one-way drive transmission mechanism, for transmitting drive-for-rotation to the second rotation shaft 15 when the first rotation shaft 16 is rotated in a normal direction and for not transmitting drive-for-rotation to the second rotation shaft 15 when the first rotation shaft 16 is rotated in the direction opposite from it; and a rotationally driving motor M, as a drive source, for driving the first rotating shaft 16 so that its rotating direction is switchable.
