Color image forming apparatus

摘要

A color image forming apparatus includes: a drum type image forming body; four charging devices for charging the image forming body; four exposure devices fixed on the main body in which each of the four exposure devices for imagewise exposing the charged image forming body to form a latent image; four developing devices each for developing the latent image to form a different colored toner image. After operations by the charging devices, the exposure devices and the developing devices are repeated to superimpose the different colored toner images on the image forming body, the superimposed colored toner images are transferred by a transfer device including an intermediate transferring member and a transfer member in contact with the intermediate transferring member onto a recording material at one time. Two developing devices are disposed on a left and a right positions with respect to a vertical line passing a center of the image forming body, and other two developing devices are disposed on an upper and a lower positions with respect to a horizontal line passing the center of the image forming body.
