Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus comprising: a plurality of photoconductor drums; a plurality of exposure members each configured to expose a corresponding photoconductor drum to light to form an electrostatic latent image on the photoconductor drum; a drum supporting member having a pair of side walls spaced apart from each other in an axial direction of the photoconductor drums and configured to support the plurality of photoconductor drums and the plurality of exposure members between the side walls; a main body comprising a pair of lateral walls spaced apart from each other in the axial direction of the photoconductor drums; a belt disposed below and opposite to the photoconductor drums and between the lateral walls of the main body; a pair of guide members configured to support the drum supporting member while allowing rectilinear movement of the drum supporting member between a retracted position in which the drum supporting member is received in the main body and a pull-out position to which the drum supporting member is moved from the retracted position and pulled out from the main body through an opening formed in the main body; a main body circuit board arranged below the belt in the main body; and a cable configured to connect the main body circuit board and the plurality of exposure members such that, when the drum supporting member is received in the main body, the cable passes through a region located between the belt and a first lateral wall of the pair of lateral walls of the main body.
