Image forming apparatus with relative positioning of support rollers and fixing rollers

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of image forming means having at least developing means using developer for forming toner images;
• a plurality of toner containers for containing the developer to be supplied to said developing means;
• a rotatable intermediate transfer belt having a surface, to which the toner images are primarily transferred, said surface being declined with facing downward opposite to said plurality of image forming means;
• a plurality of rollers for supporting said intermediate transfer belt;
• a plurality of primary transferring means for primarily transferring the toner images to said intermediate transfer belt in a plurality of primary transfer positions;
• secondary transferring means for secondarily transferring the toner images from said intermediate transfer belt to a recording material in a secondary transfer position;
• and
• fixing means including a pair of fixing members contacting with each other in a contact portion for fixing the toner images, which are secondarily transferred to the recording material in the secondary transfer position, to the recording material,
• wherein an angle formed by said surface with a horizontal plane is smaller than an angle formed by said surface with a vertical plane, and
• wherein said plurality of toner containers are disposed to a position, which is outside a project area of said intermediate transfer belt projected from a position, which is vertically above of said image forming apparatus, onto a bottom surface of said image forming apparatus.
