Image forming apparatus having cartridge

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a casing defining a first direction, a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction, the third direction extending vertically;
• a photosensitive body extending in the first direction, the photosensitive body being fixedly provided in the casing;
• a developing cartridge configured to be mounted in and removed from the casing, the developing cartridge comprising:
• a grip having a portion;
• a developing agent accommodating section accommodating therein developing agent;
• and
• a developing section including a developing roller;
• and
• an exposure unit configured to expose the photosensitive body, the exposure unit having a part overlapped with the developing cartridge as viewed in the second direction when the developing cartridge is mounted in the casing, the portion of the grip being overlapped with the exposure unit as viewed in the third direction and disposed above the exposure unit in the third direction when the developing cartridge is mounted in the casing,
• wherein the developing agent accommodating section is disposed entirely between the photosensitive drum and the exposure unit when the developing cartridge is mounted in the casing.

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a casing defining a first direction, a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction, the third direction extending vertically;
• a process cartridge configured to be mounted in and removed from the casing, the process cartridge comprising:
• a photosensitive body extending in the first direction;
• a grip having a portion;
• a developing agent accommodating section accommodating therein developing agent;
• and
• a developing section including a developing roller;
• and
• an exposure unit configured to expose the photosensitive body and emit laser beam toward the photosensitive body such that the laser beam travels along an irradiating path, the exposure unit having a part overlapped with the process cartridge as viewed in the second direction when the process cartridge is mounted in the casing, the portion of the grip being overlapped with the exposure unit as viewed in the third direction and disposed above the exposure unit in the third direction when the process cartridge is mounted in the casing,
• wherein the developing agent accommodating section is disposed below the irradiating path in the third direction when the process cartridge is mounted in the casing.
