Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus configured to form an image on a recording material, the image forming apparatus comprising:

• an apparatus main body;
• a fixing device configured to be accommodated in the apparatus main body and heat the recording material at a use position;
• and
• a drawer unit including (i) a first cartridge and (ii) a support member to which the first cartridge is detachably attached, wherein the drawer unit is configured to be moved to a first inner position inside the apparatus main body and to a first outer position outside the apparatus main body,
• wherein, in a state where the fixing device is at the use position, at least a part of the fixing device is located in a space for the drawer unit to pass through when moved from the first inner position to the first outer position so that the movement of the drawer unit from the first inner position to the first outer position is restricted,
• wherein the fixing device is configured to be retracted from the use position to a retracted position above the use position so that the movement of the drawer unit from the first inner position to the first outer position is allowed, and
• wherein at least a part of the fixing device at the retracted position protrudes outward from the apparatus main body.

An image forming apparatus configured to form an image on a recording material, the image forming apparatus comprising:

• an apparatus main body;
• a fixing device configured to heat the recording material at a use position;
• an opening and closing member attached to the apparatus main body, wherein the opening and closing member is configured to be moved from a closed position to an open position so that the opening and closing member separates from the fixing device;
• and
• a drawer unit including (i) a first cartridge and (ii) a support member to which the first cartridge is detachably attached, wherein the drawer unit is configured to be moved to a first inner position inside the apparatus main body and to a first outer position outside the apparatus main body,
• wherein, in a state where the fixing device is at the use position, at least a part of the fixing device is located in a space for the drawer unit to pass through when moved from the first inner position to the first outer position so that the movement of the drawer unit from the first inner position to the first outer position is restricted, and
• wherein the fixing device is configured to be detached from the apparatus main body so that the fixing device is retracted from the use position and the movement of the drawer unit from the first inner position to the first outer position is allowed.
