Abstract:
An image-forming apparatus includes: a main body; a toner cartridge having a first opening; a process cartridge having a photosensitive drum and a second opening; a positioning part; a transfer unit; and an urging member. The toner cartridge and process cartridge are attachable to and detachable from the main body in an axial direction of the photosensitive drum. The positioning part and transfer unit are positioned above the process cartridge attached to the main body. The positioning part fixes the attached process cartridge in position relative to the main body. The urging member urges the attached process cartridge toward the positioning part and urges the process cartridge such that such that the toner can be supplied from the toner cartridge to the process cartridge through the first opening and the second opening when the toner cartridge and the process cartridge are attached to the main body.

Claim (Index 1):
An image-forming apparatus configured to form an image on a sheet, the image-forming apparatus comprising:\n a main body comprising:\n an upper wall having a tray that is recessed downward for catching the sheet; \n a first wall having a first access opening; and \n a second wall having a second access opening; \n a toner cartridge attachable to the main body in a first direction through the first access opening, the toner cartridge accommodating toner and having a first opening; a waste toner container attachable to the main body in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction through the second access opening; a process cartridge including a photosensitive drum, the process cartridge being attachable to the main body in an axial direction along an axis of the photosensitive drum, the process cartridge having a second opening, the process cartridge further comprising:\n a cleaning member configured to remove toner from the photosensitive drum; and \n a discharge tube having a third opening, the discharge tube being configured to discharge the toner removed by the cleaning member toward the waste toner container through the third opening; \n a positioning part positioned above the process cartridge in a state where the process cartridge is attached to the main body, the positioning part being configured to fix the process cartridge in position relative to the main body in the state where the process cartridge is attached to the main body; and a transfer belt positioned above the process cartridge in the state where the process cartridge is attached to the main body.
