Image Forming Apparatus

Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes a casing having an opening that is open upward, a cover supported by the casing, a process cartridge configured to be attached to or removed from the casing through the opening, and a particular guide configured to guide the process cartridge when the process cartridge is attached to or removed from the casing. The cover is configured to pivot around a pivot axis to open and close the opening. The cover includes a pressing portion. The pressing portion is configured to, when the cover is closing the opening, contact the process cartridge being attached inside the casing and press the process cartridge toward an attachment position in which the process cartridge is attached to the casing. A path of the pressing portion in the casing is substantially same as a shape of the particular guide as viewed from an axial direction of the pivot axis.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
