PURPOSE:To facilitate maintenance by separating a main body into an upper and a lower machine frames which can be opened and closed, providing an exposure part to the upper machine frame and an automatic and a manual insertion paper conveyance path and a transfer, a separation, and a fixation part to the lower machine frame, and pivoting a conveying means rotatably. CONSTITUTION:The upper machine frame 41 and lower machine frame 40 are pivoted 42 in an opening and closing state. The figure shows an open state, but recording forms P are conveyed automatically from the cassette 21 of the lower machine frame 40 in a closed state through rollers 23, 25, 35, and 36, and a manually inserted form is passed through a roller 29 from a table 27 and conveyed in the same path as the automatic conveyance path of the automatically fed forms behind the roller 25. The forms are exposed to a photosensitive drum 31 in the middle of the conveyance, toner is transferred 32, and they are separated from the photosensitive drum 31 by a separating electrode 33 then discharged into a discharge tray 37 after fixation 35. A frame body 38 containing the conveyance paths is locked to the lower machine frame 40 with an unshown device, but unlocked when necessary and rotates around a shaft 39 as shown by an arrow A. Thus, repair and inspection are facilitated in case of jamming. |
