Image forming apparatus.

摘要

An image forming apparatus having a main body (1) whose upper section is split into first and second split lid sections (51,53). The first and second split lid sections (51,53) are arranged to be freely opened and closed. A transfer body (3) and a fixing device (6) are detachably installed in the first split lid section (51), while a developing device and an image carrying body (7) are installed in the second split lid section (53). The image carrying body (7) and the transfer body (3) are brought out of contact with each other by opening at least one of the first and second split lid sections (51,53). The transfer body (3) and a fixing member (6) are caused to be rotatable by opening the first lid section (51). With this structure, it is possible to easily repair a paper jam and perform maintenance of the respective sections without increasing the installation space.
