A paper transport device is mounted on the printer body and includes a paper supply section for supplying a paper sheet from a supply paper tray to the print position, and a paper discharging section for discharging a paper sheet from the print position onto a discharge paper tray. A developing unit is located between the paper supply and discharging stations and includes a latent image forming belt, and a transfer station for transferring a toner image formed on the belt to a paper sheet. A paper path for passing a paper sheet through the transfer station is formed in the developing unit. A fixing device is located outside the developing unit for fixing a toner image on a paper sheet discharged from the developing unit to a surface of the paper sheet.
