<p>PURPOSE:To provide an image formation device having the capability of increasing an amount of developer supplied at one time without expanding space for placing a developer container. CONSTITUTION:In an image formation device for generating an image by an electrophotographic method, a sheet delivery section 23 having a shorter overall length than a sheet breadth is provided along an axial center orthogonal with a sheet delivery direction. In addition, a developer container 22 is so provided as to have a developer storage section 77 extended from the vicinity of a photo- sensitive body 24 to the outside of the edge of the sheet delivery section 23 in an axial direction. The storage amount of developer is thereby increased, while a frequency for supplying the developer is reduced. Also, the dead space of the sheet delivery section 23 above the axial line thereof is employed to position the developer storage section 77, thereby ensuring the compact design of an image formation device.</p> |
