Abstract:
A process unit has an image carrying unit having an image carrying member configured to be rotatable about a first axis extending in a first direction, and a developing agent removing member, a developing unit having a developing agent carrying member configured to be rotatable about a second axis parallel to the first axis, and a waste developing agent collecting unit configured to collect the developing agent removed by the removing member from the image carrying member. The waste developing agent collecting unit is arranged on one side in the first direction with respect to the developing unit such that the waste developing agent collecting unit faces the developing unit, and the developing unit is connected to the waste developing agent collecting unit such that the developing unit being movable in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction with respect to the waste developing agent collecting unit.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n a main body having a first side surface and a second side surface facing the first side surface; a photosensitive drum positioned closer to the first side surface in the main body; an exposure device positioned closer to the second side surface in the main body and configured to emit a laser beam to the photosensitive drum along a light path; a developing agent reservoir configured to accommodate developing agent; a developing roller configured to supply the developing agent to the photosensitive drum; a developing agent collecting device positioned above the photosensitive drum and configured to collect waste developing agent residing on the photosensitive drum; a transporting member configured to transport the waste developing agent collected by the developing agent collecting device; and a waste developing agent accommodating unit configured to accommodate the waste developing agent transported by the transporting member, a portion of the waste developing agent accommodating unit being positioned below the light path.
