IMAGE EXPOSING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image exposing device and an image forming apparatus using the same capable of reducing height of these devices in the direction of height when compared with a case where a shutter member does not enter a passing zone for letting a cleaning member pass through it when covering a transparent member provided on an exposure window.

SOLUTION: The image exposing device includes a transparent dustproof member provided on the image exposure window for forming image exposed to a photoreceptor and the shutter member 38 capable of being switched between a shielding position for covering a surface of the dustproof member being a zone for letting the cleaning member provided to clean the surface of the dustproof member pass through and an opening position for forming the exposed image on a surface of the photoreceptor through the dustproof member and having at least a part entering the passing zone for letting the cleaning member pass through when the shutter member is positioned at the shielding position for covering the surface of the dustproof member.
