ABSTRACT:
An electrophotographic printer includes a photosensitive member, a charger for accumulating electrostatic charges on the surface of the photosensitive member, an optical writing member for forming an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the photosensitive member, a developing device for making the latent image on the photosensitive member visible by means of a developer, a transfer device for transferring the visible image to a recorded material, a charge remover for removing any charge remaining on the photosensitive member, and a cleaner for removing any developer remaining on the photosensitive member. A developer moving passage is defined between the developing device and the cleaner for moving the developer from the cleaner to the developing device. The charger and the optical writing member are disposed between the developing device and the cleaner. A fixing device for fixing a visible image which has been transferred from the photosensitive member to the recording material is disposed in the vicinity of an upper wall of a housing, and an opening is provided in the upper wall of the housing for discharging the recording material passed through the fixing device onto the upper wall.
