ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an image forming apparatus having the following arrangement. When a first linking member pivotally moves to the original position, an engaging portion juttingly formed from the first linking member engages a first positioning portion formed in a frame, while a second roller coming into contact with a first roller rotatably supported to the frame. A second linking member is pivotally rotated in response to the pivotal rotation of the first linking member, and part of a transfer unit engages a second positioning portion formed in the frame to position the transfer unit relative to a photosensitive drum. In association with the pivotal rotation of the second linking member, a guide portion of the second linking member engages part of a fixing unit to position the guide portion relative to the fixing unit.
