Abstract:
An image-forming apparatus includes an apparatus body and a process cartridge attachable to and detachable from the apparatus body. The apparatus body includes a sheet-feed roller and a body wall. The process cartridge includes: a photosensitive drum; a drum frame; a developing roller; a cleaner; a conveying pipe and a waste-toner container for storing waste toner removed from the photosensitive drum by the cleaner and conveyed by the conveying pipe. The waste-toner container is detachably mountable on the drum frame. The waste-toner container mounted on the drum frame is positioned opposite to the photosensitive drum with respect to the developing roller. The body wall of the apparatus body and a container wall of the waste-toner container constitute a part of a sheet-conveying guide for guiding conveyance of a sheet from the sheet-feed roller toward the photosensitive drum when the process cartridge is attached to the apparatus body.

Claim (Index 7):
The image-forming apparatus according to  claim 2 , further comprising a reverse sheet-conveying guide configured to reverse the sheet conveyed from the photosensitive drum and convey the sheet back to the photosensitive drum, the sheet having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the reverse sheet-conveying guide being configured to reverse the sheet having an image formed on the first surface and convey the sheet toward the photosensitive drum such that the second surface of the sheet faces the photosensitive drum,\n wherein the sheet-conveying guide includes an opening through which the sheet guided by the reverse sheet-conveying guide is configured to pass.
