ABSTRACT:
A color image recording apparatus includes a mechanism that switches a plurality of image forming sections between image forming positions where the photoconductive drums are in contact with a transport belt and non-image forming positions where the photoconductive drums are not in contact with the transport belt. A pair of slide links extend and are slidable in a direction in which the image forming sections are aligned. Each of the slide links has first guide surfaces and second guide surfaces. When the image forming sections are at the image forming positions, supporting shafts of corresponding one of image forming sections rest on the first guide surfaces. When the image forming sections at the non-image forming positions, the supporting shafts of corresponding one of image forming sections rest on the second guide surfaces.
