<p>In image recording apparatus, for recording toner images on recording sheets, a gap between a sheet intruding guide (12) and a surface of a photoconductive drum (11) is kept to a predetermined value (A), within allowable tolerances, by positioning the sheet intruding guide (12) together with an image transcription unit (13) placed under the drum (11) and constantly urged (22) towards the drum surface so that spacing between the drum surface and the image transcription unit (13) is maintained constant. The sheet intruding guide (12) can be lifted up and held away from the image transcription unit when the drum (11) is to be removed, and then released and set back to its regular position mechanically when the drum or a replacement drum is put back in its regular position.</p> |
