PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make the constitution of an intermediate transfer part compact and simple and to improve maintainability by providing an opening/closing part constituted to open a part of a recording paper traveling path to remove jammed paper when it is opened. SOLUTION: A printer front plate 1A is freely operated so that it is tilted and opened centering a hinge 1B on a lower side with respect to the outside housing 1 of a printer as shown by an alternate long and two short dashes line and operated so that it is raised and closed as shown by a solid line. Attaching/detaching operation of an intermediate transfer belt unit 2 inside the printer and the inspection and maintenance of the inside of the printer at the time of paper jamming, etc., are performed by tilting and opening the plate 1A and largely opening the inside of the printer. The attaching/detaching operation of the unit 2 is designed to be performed in a perpendicular direction to the rotary shaft of a photoreceptor. By constituting the unit 2 so that it is drawn out from the front side of the printer in this way, the constitution for attaching/detaching the unit 2 and the constitution for removing paper at the time of paper jamming in the printer are made the same.
