Image forming device
Abstract
Abstract PURPOSE:To reduce an installation space, and also to easily execute the attachment and detachment of a cartridge and the removal of jammed paper, by placing an electrifying device, an optical signal generating device, a developing device, a photosensitive body, and a cleaning device, in an immovable body part, and providing a transfer device on a movable body part. CONSTITUTION:A photosensitive body 1 is provided so as to be rotatable in the direction as indicated with an arrow A, and in the periphery of the photosensitive body 1, an electrifying device 2, an optical signal generating device 3, a developing device 4, a transfer device 5, a cleaning device 6, and an erasing device 7 are placed in a immovable body part 23. Also, in the upper part of the photosensitive body 1, a form stacker 8, a form feed-out roller 9, and a form resist roller 10 are placed, and in the lower part of the photosensitive body 1, a fixing device 11, a form guide plate 12, a discharge paper roller 13, an exhaust fan 14, and a power source are placed. Moreover, in the inside of the movable body part 21, the transfer device 5 and the fixing device 11 are fixed and provided, and constitute the movable body part 21 as a whole. The movable body part 21 is supported by the immovable body part 23 of an image forming device by a supporting shaft 22. In such a way, an occupied space on a desk becomes small, and also, the replacement of the cartridge and the removable of jammed paper are easily executed.
