An image forming apparatus including an image carrier rotatably provided therein for carrying an image on a circumferential surface of the image carrier, at least one exposure device for exposing exposure positions on the circumferential surface of the image carrier with light, a drive device for driving the image carrier to rotate, a first meshing member positioned to rotate coaxially and unitarily with the image carrier, a second meshing member positioned to convey a drive force generated by the drive device to the first meshing member by direct meshing engagement with the first meshing member or a timing belt spanned around the first and second meshing members. The first meshing member has teeth between first and second exposure positions of the exposure positions, the teeth on the first meshing member has a number of teeth which is an integer multiple of a number of teeth on the second meshing member.
