ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming body for carrying thereon a toner image, and a belt-shaped intermediate transfer body for carrying thereon the toner image transferred from the image forming body. A first transfer device is provided for transferring another toner image carried by the image forming body onto an obverse side of a recording sheet conveyed by the intermediate transfer body, and a second transfer device is provided for transferring the toner image carried on the intermediate transfer body onto a reverse side of the recording sheet. In addition, a fixing device is provided for fixing the toner images transferred on both sides of the recording sheet which is separated from the intermediate transfer body, and a conveyor portion having spurred wheels is provided between the intermediate transfer body and the fixing device for conveying the transfer member to the fixing device. The apparatus has a structure including two frames which can be opened. When the frames are closed, the image forming body is set to a first position adjacent to and facing the intermediate transfer body and the second transfer device is set to a second position adjacent to the intermediate transfer body and the conveyor portion, and when the frames are opened, the image forming body is apart from the first position and the second transfer device is apart from the second position.
