ABSTRACT:
A color image forming device includes a housing, a photosensitive unit, an exposing unit, at least three developing units, a transfer unit, and a fixing unit. The housing has a recording medium discharge opening for discharging recording media in a forward direction. The photosensitive unit includes a photosensitive belt with a photosensitive layer. The exposing unit exposes the photosensitive layer to form a series of latent images on the photosensitive belt. The developing units are provided in a forward portion of the housing, each including a different color developing agent for supplying developing agent to the photosensitive belt to develop corresponding latent images into visible images. The transfer unit transfers the visible images onto a recording medium. The fixing unit is provided in a rear portion of the housing unit, fixes the visible images onto the recording medium and transports the recording medium toward the discharge opening.
