Abstract:
Provided is an image forming apparatus wherein a transfer material transport guide  35  is disposed in an optical sensor unit  29  to support a color deviation sensor, which is disposed near an intermediate transfer belt  6 . By changing the position of the optical sensor unit  29 , the grounding path of the transfer material transport guide  35  can be changed, and both the transfer bias leak prevention for the transfer material transport guide  35  and the electrostatic breakdown prevention for the color deviation sensor can be implemented. As a result, the apparatus can be downsized, and only when the intermediate transfer belt is replaced, the optical sensor unit  29  can be moved to create a space necessary for the replacement.

Claim (Index 9):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a biasing member configured to bias the electric unit, wherein the first position is a position where the electric unit is biased to the image bearing member by the biasing member.
