In an image-forming apparatus, a main device body has a first side surface and a second side surface opposite to the first side surface. An opening is formed in the first side surface. A cover covers the opening and is capable of opening and closing thereon. A plurality of process cartridges are capable of being mounted in or removed from the main device body through the opening. The process cartridges are arranged in a row in the main device body when the process cartridge are mounted in the main device body. Each process cartridge is oriented, when the each process cartridge is mounted in the main device body, with its developer-accommodating section facing the first side surface and the image-holding member facing the second side surface. An exposure device is integrally provided on the cover and irradiates a light beam on each image-holding member. The conveying unit conveys a sheet to a position opposing each image-holding member, thereby allowing a developer image to be transferred from each image-holding member onto the sheet. A tray supports the sheet after the sheet has been formed with the developer image from at least one of the image-holding members.
