ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus according to the present invention includes: a photosensitive body; an exposing device for irradiating the photosensitive body with a light to form a latent image on the photosensitive body; a developing device for developing the latent image formed on the photosensitive body to form a developer image; a transfer roller for transferring the developer image on a recording paper; a fixing device for thermally fixing a transferred image on the recording paper after image transference; and a case for accommodating the photosensitive body, the exposing device, the developing device, the transfer roller and the fixing device, the case having at least six planes, two or more of the planes provided around an axis of the photosensitive body, being placement planes which are usable as a bottom during an image forming operation. The fixing device is always above the photosensitive body and the developing device, regardless of which plane is selected from the two or more placement planes as a bottom when the apparatus performs the image forming operation.
