ABSTRACT:
An image forming device is provided with a process cartridge having a image carrying member, a main body including an attaching section to which the process cartridge is detachably attached, and an image transfer member to be press-contacted to the image carrying member for image transfer when the process cartridge is completely attached to the attaching section. The process cartridge may be configured to apply a pressing force to the attaching section when the process cartridge is not completely attached to the attaching section, and the image forming device may further include a separating mechanism configured to allow the press-contact between the image carrying member and the image transfer member when the process cartridge is completely attached to the attaching section, the separating mechanism operating to separate the image carrying member and the image transfer member when the pressing force is applied by the process cartridge to the attaching section.
