<p>An image-forming apparatus which consistently forms images when it is orientated either horizontally or upright, comprising a rotary, endless latent image carrier, a latent image forming unit (22) for forming a latent image on the latent image carrier (20), a developing unit (23) for developing the latent image on the latent image carrier (20) using powdered developer, a transferring unit (24) for transferring a developed image on the latent image carrier (20) to a sheet, and a positioning mechanism (6) for positioning the developing unit (23) relative to the latent image carrier (20), either at a first position corresponding to an upright orientation of the apparatus or at a second position corresponding to a horizontal orientation of the apparatus. <IMAGE></p> |
