ABSTRACT:
In an electrophotographic device, a main body is divided into a lower body and a swingable upper body. A process unit formed of at least a toner holder, a charger, and a developer is detachably mounted in the lower body. The position of the process unit (particularly, the photosensitive member) relative to the lower body (particularly, a member driving gear) is controlled by placing a shaft of the member through a groove in a side wall of the lower body at one end of the member, and by bringing a lower end of the side wall of the process unit supporting the member into contact with an upper end of a support member supporting the member driving gear. An exposure unit mounted in the upper body is positioned to the photosensitive member with a predetermined distance therebetween by bringing a contact portion of the exposure head into contact with the side wall of the lower body supporting the member.
