IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR ADJUSTING VOID BETWEEN PHOTORECEPTOR AND DEVELOPING ROLLER IN IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of adjusting a developing gap Ds at high accuracy without depending on the processing accuracy of components.

SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus 10 including a photoreceptor 21 for forming an electrostatic latent image on a surface thereof and a developing roller 32 arranged against the photoreceptor 21 via a void to develop the electrostatic latent image formed on the photoreceptor 21 includes also a side plate 31 for rotatably supporting the photoreceptor 21 and a bearing plate 34 for rotatably supporting the developing roller 32. The side plate 31 and the bearing plate 34 are rotatably coupled with each other on a position other than a supporting position of the photoreceptor 21 and a position other than a supporting position of the developing roller 32 and fixed with each other on a position other than the rotatable coupling position.
