Abstract: An image forming apparatus allowing a printing section inside of a casing to print paper and discharging the printed paper from the casing through a discharge port of the casing includes a discharge tray configured such that the position thereof is switchable from a placement position for covering the surface of a feeding belt and receiving the paper discharged from the casing to an exposure position for exposing the surface of the feeding belt, and vice versa, wherein a surface of the discharge tray has a coefficient of friction lower than the surface of the feeding belt.

Abstract: A conveyor for a photo-processing apparatus having an exposing section and a developing section is disclosed. The conveyor conveys the photo-sensitive material from the exposing section to the developing section. A power source for conveying a photo-sensitive material in a vertical direction and a guide mechanism for guiding the photo-sensitive material in a lateral direction are installed in the conveyor. The lateral guidance of the photo-sensitive material by the guide mechanism is interlocked with the vertical conveyance by the power source to reduce the number of motors.
