ABSTRACT:
In an image forming apparatus, a transporting path of a recording medium is provided in a direction extending from a lower region to a higher region. Furthermore, in order to allow a toner to be supplied from a toner supplying container to a developing device, an optical path of an image-exposure light from an exposing device to a photoreceptor is provided substantially in a horizontal direction, and the developing device is disposed below the optical path while the toner supplying container is disposed above the optical path. The image forming apparatus has a simple construction, and can be implemented at a relatively low cost and in a small size.
