Architecture for an image-forming device

An imaging apparatus, comprising:

• a body having a front, a back, a bottom, and a top;
• a media input tray located at the bottom of the body;
• a plurality of imaging units aligned along a substantially horizontal plane extending from the front of the body to the back of the body;
• a plurality of toner reservoirs each removably connected to one of the plurality of imaging units, each of the plurality of toner reservoirs being removable from the body;
• an intermediate transfer mechanism located between the media input tray and the plurality of imaging units to receive toner from the imaging unit and move the toner to a second transfer area;
• a first power supply located between the intermediate transfer mechanism and the media input tray;
• and
• controller circuitry and a first support member located between the plurality of imaging units and the back of the body, the first support member being rigid to support the body and extending substantially around the controller circuitry to electrically shield the controller circuitry.
