Abstract:
An image forming apparatus, including a process cartridge and a main body with an opening and a cartridge supporter is provided. The process cartridge includes a drum cartridge; a toner cartridge attachable to the drum cartridge; and a switching member switchable states in the process cartridge between a first state, wherein detachment of the toner cartridge is restricted, and a second state, wherein the toner cartridge is released from the restriction. The cartridge supporter is movable between a first position, wherein the cartridge supporter supports the process cartridge to be placed entirely in an inner space in the main body on an inner side of the opening, and a second position, wherein the cartridge supporter supports the process cartridge to be at least partly placed outside the inner space. When the cartridge supporter is in the second position, the switching member is at least partly placed outside the inner space.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n a fuse unit; a process cartridge including a photosensitive drum, the photosensitive drum having an axis extending in a first direction; a main body including a first wall and a second wall opposite to the first wall in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a distance between the fuser unit and the first wall in the second direction being less than a distance between the fuser unit and the second wall in the second direction, the second wall having an opening, through which the process cartridge is attachable, the main body including:\n a cover movable between an opening position, in which the opening is exposed, and a closed position, in which the cover closes the opening; \n a cartridge supporter movable between a first position, in which the cartridge supporter supports the process cartridge such that the process cartridge is disposed entirely inside the main body, and a second position, in which the cartridge supporter supports the process cartridge such that the process cartridge is disposed at least partially outside the main body; \n a cartridge guide including a first end and a second end opposite to the first end in the second direction, a distance between the first end of the cartridge guide and the second wall in the second direction being greater than a distance between the second end of the cartridge guide and the second wall in the second direction; and \n a cartridge supporter guide including a first end and a second end opposite to the first end in the second direction, a distance between the first end of the cartridge supporter guide and the second wall in the second direction being greater than a distance between the second end of the cartridge supporter guide and the second wall in the second direction, \n wherein a distance between the first end of the cartridge guide and the second wall in the second direction is greater than a distance between the first end of the cartridge supporter guide and the second wall in the second direction.
