<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reliably prevent a detection failure due to soil on a detecting means when an image forming unit is not attached, and malfunction of a control substrate due to static electricity brought about by a user. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus 1 includes an apparatus body 2, and a photoreceptor unit 21 configured detachably from the apparatus body 2 and used to form an image in cooperation with the apparatus body 2. The apparatus body 2 includes a detection unit 66 that comes into contact with the photoreceptor unit 21 and detects that the photoreceptor unit 21 is attached. When the photoreceptor unit 21 is not attached to the apparatus body 2, the detection unit 66 is not exposed to the attached position S of the photoreceptor unit 21 in the apparatus body 2. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
