Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a body; a transport belt that includes a transport face, and that transports the sheet while supporting the sheet on a transport face; a developer-image forming portion that forms a developer image on the sheet transported by transport belt; and a fixing device that includes a contact portion disposed lower position than the transport face, and that fixes the developer image on the sheet by the contact portion.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming apparatus body, a first unit detachably attached to the image forming apparatus body, a second unit detachably attached to the image forming apparatus body; and a movement mechanism that moves at least one of the first unit and the second unit to satisfy the condition that each of the first unit and the second unit is disposed not to hinder the other from being attached to and detached from the image forming apparatus body.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit having a developer accepting part accepting supplied developer and a developer supply unit having a developer supply part supplying the developer to the developer accepting part, wherein the developer accepting part is provided near one end in the longitudinal direction of the image forming unit, the developer supply unit is provided near one end in the longitudinal direction of the developer supply unit, and the image forming unit and the developer supply unit are arranged in a position where one end in the longitudinal direction of the developer supply unit is nearly orthogonal to the image forming unit near one end in the longitudinal direction of the image forming unit.

Abstract: A laser beam printer capable of changing the printing speed and quality. The laser beam printer includes a speed decoding unit for decoding a specification of the printing speed, and a speed setting unit for setting a transport speed for a sheet of paper taken as an object of recording in accordance with decoded contents of the printing speed.

Abstract: A transfer apparatus including a photoreceptor drum having a transfer position, feeding rollers for feeding out a sheet of paper upward obliquely, and a guide member provided between the feeding rollers and the photoreceptor drum and having a guide surface on a lower surface thereof to guide the paper to the transfer position along the guide surface. In the transfer apparatus, the structure is simplified since the paper is guided by the single guide member. Moreover, the feeding of the paper can be performed smoothly, since frictional resistance is produced only on one side of the paper. In addition, the guide surface is formed on the lower surface of the guide member, so that the paper can be supplied to the transfer position of the photoreceptor drum stably.
