IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

An object is to provide an image forming apparatus capable of switching, with a simple configuration, the positional relation between a supporting member and a feeding member and the positional relation between a developing member and a photosensitive member.;A separation cam 100 rotated by the driving force of a motor M and a slider 101 moving in accordance with the rotation of the separation cam 100 are configured to switch the positional relation between a lifting plate 13 and a feeding roller 3 and the positional relation between a developing roller 103b and a photosensitive drum 8.

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a supporting member configured to support at least one sheet thereon; a feeding member configured to feed the sheet; a photosensitive member; a developing member configured to develop a latent image formed on the photosensitive member; driving means for generating a driving force; and switching means for switching, by the driving force, a positional relation between the supporting member and the feeding member and a positional relation between the photosensitive member and the developing member, between a first state and a second state where the supporting member and the feeding member are more distant from each other than in the first state and the photosensitive member and the developing member are more distant from each other than in the first state.
