ABSTRACT:
Provided is a small-sized electrophotographic apparatus for which maintenance such as disposal of a jam of sheets, replacement of consumables including toner, or replacement of components to be periodically replaced can be facilitated.Thus, there is provided a tandem type electrophotographic apparatus using an intermediate transfer belt, in which photosensitive drums are arranged in a vertical one row, the intermediate transfer belt is located on one side of the row of the photosensitive drums, the developing means are located on the other side of the row of the photosensitive drums, a transfer means for transfer a toner image from the intermediate transfer belt onto a recording medium is located above the row of the photosensitive drums, a recording medium conveying path composed of a vertical conveying path (a front opening door) for conveying a recording medium fed from the recording medium supply means, outside of the developing means and substantially in parallel with the intermediate transfer belt, a curved part and a horizontal conveying path for conveying the recording medium up to a transfer means in a substantially horizontal direction, and a fixing means for fixing a toner image transferred onto the recording medium is incorporated in the horizontal conveying path (a top surface opening door), downstream of the transfer means.
