Patent ID: 8725032

Claim:
An image forming apparatus comprising: a plurality of photoconductor drums; a drum supporting member having a pair of side walls disposed opposite to each other in an axial direction of the photoconductor drums and configured to support the plurality of photoconductor drums between the side walls; a plurality of exposure members supported by the drum supporting member, each exposure member configured to expose a corresponding photoconductor drum to light to form an electrostatic latent image on the photoconductor drum; a belt disposed below and opposite to the photoconductor drums; 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 a main body of the image forming apparatus 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 provided in the main body and connected to the plurality of exposure members via a cable; and a sheet output tray portion configured to hold a recording sheet on which an image has been formed, wherein the main body circuit board is arranged above the drum supporting member, and wherein a part of the cable is located in a space formed outside the sheet output tray portion in the axial direction, when the drum supporting member is in the retracted position.
