1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a photoconductor; an exposure device to expose a surface of the photoconductor to form an electrostatic latent image on the photoconductor; a developing device to develop the electrostatic latent image formed on the photoconductor with developer to render the electrostatic latent image visible as a toner image; a transfer device to transfer the toner image onto a recording medium; a fixing device to fix the toner image onto the recording medium; and an evacuation space disposed in an area adjacent to the photoconductor to accommodate the exposure device during detachment and attachment of the photoconductor, wherein the evacuation space serves as a vent duct to circulate air to cool an image forming unit including the photoconductor during printing. |
