PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrophotographic device protecting a photoreceptor from a foreign matter dropping from the outside of a main body when no developing unit is fitted, suppressing the occurrence of a defective image caused by the damage of the photoreceptor, and excellent in reliability. SOLUTION: A photoreceptor 1 formed with an electrostatic latent image on the surface is developed by developing units 7B, 7Y, 7M, 7C having multiple different colors in sequence, a toner revelational image is synthesized on a transfer body, and a synthetic image is transferred on the paper 26 by a processing means. The photoreceptor 1 supported by multiple photoreceptor belt support conveyance rollers 2, 3, 4 is formed into a belt shape having a horizontal surface, multiple developing units 7B, 7Y, 7M, 7C are vertically removably arranged on the horizontal surface of the photoreceptor 1, a transfer body is provided in contact with the other side of the photoreceptor 1, and a mechanism opening or closing photoreceptor covers 38B, 38Y, 38M, 38C covering the horizontal surface of the photoreceptor 1 interlockingly with the fitting or removal of the developing units 7B, 7Y, 7M, 7C is provided. |
