Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus comprising: a plurality of arrayed image forming units, each of the image forming units including an intermediate transfer body that circulates on a circulation path including a partial path extending along the plurality of photoconductors forming the plurality of image forming units by receiving a driving force, receives first transfer of the toner images formed on the photoconductors, and transport the toner images to a second transfer position; a fixing device that operates by receiving a driving force, and fixes the toner images to a sheet of paper, the toner images which are transferred on the sheet from the intermediate transfer body when the toner images pass through the second transfer position; a driving unit including a circuit board having mounted thereon a circuit component that controls electric power for operating the driving unit, the circuit board being arranged at a position to avoid overlapping the motor mount section and to overlap the driving-force transmission section in the rotation-axis direction of the photoconductors.
