ABSTRACT:
An image-forming device includes a main body; a developing unit; a transferring unit; and a tray. The developing unit has a developer-accommodating section that accommodates developer and a photosensitive member on which an electrostatic latent image is formed. The developing unit further has a developer-carrying member to develop the electrostatic latent image. The tray enables the developing unit to move between a contact position and a separate position.
