PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the image forming device with high reliability where the device main body is made small while reserving a space to an upper part of an image forming section and an opening is provided to the space to facilitate exposure of the inside of the image forming section. SOLUTION: A scanning direction of scanning an original by a read section 1 is designed nearly orthogonal to a carrying direction of a sheet on which an image by an image forming section 9 is formed. The read section 1 is fixedly placed closer to a sheet discharge side of the image forming section 9 and an opening for the maintenance of the inside of the image forming section 9 is provided to an upper part of the image forming section 9 where the read section 1 toward a paper feed side is not in existence, and a turnable cover 22 is placed to cover the opening. Then it is possible to replace a process cartridge 13 by turning the cover 22 to open the opening.
