ABSTRACT:
The insertion and removal of an image forming unit, inserted into the storage bay of the enclosure of electronic equipment so that it can be removed, is made easy, and the clearance of paper jams and maintenance operations, etc., are facilitated. An outer case is fitted inside the storage bay, for accommodating hard disk drives, etc., of the electronic equipment (e.g., a computer), and an image forming unit is inserted into this outer case so that it can be removed. Slides for supporting the main case, so that it can slide backward and forward are provided at the bottom of the outer case. In the image forming process, a latent image is formed on the microcapsule sheet by dot-wise exposure with LEDs, after which pressure development takes place, whereupon a color image is formed on the microcapsule sheet.
