Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To suppress deviation in positional relationship of a photoconductor drum and a scanner in the axial direction, in a constitution including a separation member for pushing a development cartridge in the axial direction.SOLUTION: A drawer 90 includes a photoconductor drum, and is movable with respect to a body housing 10. A development cartridge includes a development roller, and is movable between a contact position at which the development roller comes into contact with the photoconductor drum and a separation position at which the development roller is separated from the photoconductor drum. The separation member brings the development cartridge into contact with the drawer 90 by pushing it in the axial direction of the development roller, and moves it from the contact position to the separation position. The drawer 90 includes a drawer lever 200 which positions the drawer 90 in the axial direction with respect to a scanner 40. The drawer lever 200 is movable between a first position separated from a scanner frame 17 for positioning the scanner 40 and a second position engaged with the scanner frame 17, in a state where the drawer 90 is positioned at a storage position in the body housing 10.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
