Claims28
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an image bearer configured to include an image bearing member which bears a toner image to be transferred onto a recording material conveyed;
- a conveyer configured to convey the recording material to the image bearer in a status that skew of the recording material is corrected;
- a door for opening and closing an opening through which the image bearer is inserted or removed;
- a frame:
- a first positioning member disposed at a first side of the frame and configured to position the conveyer and to position the image bearer;
- and
- a second positioning member disposed at a second side of the frame, opposite to the first side and configured to position the conveyer and to position the image bearer,
- wherein each of the first positioning member and the second positioning member includes a guide portion which guides the conveyer and the image bearer which is inserted or removed through the opening in a state that the door is opened.
