摘要:
In an electrophotographic color image forming apparatus (100) using a tandem-drum development, an intermediate image-transfer member is angled relative to a horizontal line such that a rear side of the intermediate image-transfer member away from a recording sheet output is lifted and a front side of the intermediate image-transfer member closer to the recording sheet output is lowered, toner cartridges of the tandem-drum development are aligned in parallel and arranged above and parallel to the intermediate image-transfer member and below an upper cover (37) formed as an output tray such that the toner cartridges are exchangeable by opening the cover (37) upwardly toward the rear side from the front side of the apparatus housing where an operation panel is provided.

摘要:
An electrophotographic color image forming apparatus (100) using both a tandem-drum development, an indirect image-transfer method and a vertical sheet supply path, wherein an intermediate image-transfer member (7) is arranged relative to a horizontal line such that a rear side of the intermediate image-transfer member away from a recording sheet is lifted and a front side thereof closer to the recording sheet is lowered, image creating mechanisms (8Y,8C,8M,8Bk) are aligned in parallel and arranged along and parallel to a moving image transfer bed formed by the intermediate image-transfer member (7) such that one of the image creating mechanisms (8Y) firstly forming an image faces the rear side and another image creating mechanism (8Bk) lastly forming an image faces the front side of the moving image transfer bed, and toner cartridges (36a,36b,36c,36d) are accessible along and parallel to the intermediate transfer member (7) such that toner conveying passages between the toner cartridges and image creating mechanisms are substantially of similar length and angle.
