ABSTRACT:
A process cartridge includes an image bearing unit, a developing unit, and first and second positioning members. The image bearing unit includes a photoconductor, and a photoconductor case accommodating the photoconductor. The developing unit detachably combined with the image bearing unit includes a developer case containing a developer, a developing roller carrying the developer. The first and second positioning members are respectively disposed at each side of the photoconductor case and the developer case when the photoconductor case and the developer case are attached in combination, and is configured to position the developing roller and the photoconductor so as to regulate a gap formed between the developing roller and the photoconductor to a predetermined distance.
