ABSTRACT:
A color image forming apparatus includes a plurality of chargers each provided in a periphery of an image forming body for charging the image forming body; at least two of a plurality of imagewise exposure devices each equally spaced with respect to the image forming body, for imagewise exposing a charged image forming body to form a latent image; and a plurality of developing devices each provided in the periphery of the image forming body to develop the latent image to form a toner image. During one rotation of the image forming body, a sequence of charging, exposing and developing is repeated to superimpose the toner images, and them the toner images are transferred onto a recording medium at one time, wherein a number of teeth, which corresponds to an interval of the plurality of imagewise exposure means, of a follower gear provided on the image forming body is the same as a number of teeth of a drive gear provided on a main body of the apparatus, or is an integer multiple of the number of teeth of the drive gear.
