ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes: a case having an opening at one face thereof; and a drawable cartridge drawable through the opening. The drawable cartridge may include a conveying belt configured to convey a recording medium from a side nearer to the opening toward a side away from the opening and a feeding roller system for feeding the recording medium toward the conveying belt. The feeding roller system may be at least partially disposed between the opening and the conveying belt at a position to at least partially overlap with the conveying belt when viewed in a direction from the opening. Additional example features of the invention relate to the drawable cartridge structure, the roller unit, and/or the recording medium accommodating cartridge, e.g., usable in the image forming apparatus described above.
