Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus main body and an original reading device disposed on top of the apparatus main body. A sheet supply cassette, a sheet discharge tray, an original feed tray, and the original discharge tray are oriented such that their lengthwise directions are aligned with the first horizontal direction, and are arranged to overlap with one another in the vertical direction. A pair of side walls is disposed at both widthwise ends of the sheet supply cassette, the sheet discharge tray, the original feed tray, and the original discharge tray. The both widthwise ends of these components are formed as edge portions. The pair of side walls covers an entire length of each of the edge portions, thereby supporting all of the sheet supply cassette, the sheet discharge tray, the original feed tray, and the original discharge tray.

Abstract: A photosensitive-member cartridge has an upper registration roller, and both ends of the upper registration roller are rotatably supported on respective side walls of a casing by roller support members. Torsion coil springs are engaged with the roller support members and the side walls, and urge the upper registration roller upward. When the photosensitive-member cartridge is alone, the upper registration roller is held at a retract position with respect to a bottom wall of the casing without rattling.

Abstract: The package has an used developer cartridge, a packing case and cushioning members. The packing case is configured with a upper surface that can be opened. When packed in the packing case, the developer cartridge is accommodated in the cushioning members so that the developing roller is positioned vertically above the toner-extracting hole. Recessed parts are formed in the cushioning members, respectively. One recessed part is shaped to closely fit over the upper surface of the developer cartridge. The other recessed part is shaped to fit closes over the lower surface of the developer cartridge. The recessed parts accommodate the developer cartridge so that the developer cartridge has no play therein.

The process unit is configured to be attached to and detached from the main unit case. The belt unit is configured to displace between an opposed position and an opened position. The belt unit in the opposed position is opposed to the process unit. The belt unit in the opened position allows the process unit to be exposed in the direction of removing the process unit from the main unit case. The belt is provided on the belt unit and is rotatingly driven. The belt cleaning unit is fixedly attached to the belt unit and removes material adhered to the belt. The storing unit is fixedly attached to the main unit case and stores therein the material removed from the belt by the belt cleaning unit. The duct unit has a conveying path in fluid communication with the belt cleaning unit and the storing unit. The duct unit conveys, along the conveying path, the material removed by the belt cleaning unit from the belt cleaning unit to the storing unit.
