Abstract:
A drawer unit moves in a moving direction between an internal position inside the main housing and an external position outside the main housing. The drawer unit includes a drawer frame, a first exposure head, and a second contact member. The first exposure head moves between a first adjacent position at which the first exposure head is adjacent to the first photosensitive drum and a first spaced position at which the first exposure head is farther spaced away from the first photosensitive drum than at the first adjacent position. The second contact member is a part of the drawer unit other than the first exposure head. The first exposure head moves from the first adjacent position to the first spaced position due to a contact between the first contact member and the second contact member when the drawer unit moves from the internal position to the external position.

Claim (Index 17):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the first contact member includes a rack gear;\n wherein the drawer unit includes a spring configured to press the first exposure head from the first spaced position toward the first adjacent position; wherein the second contact member is a gear configured to rotate by engaging the rack gear when the drawer unit moves between the internal position and the external position; wherein the gear includes a cam; wherein, when the drawer unit moves from the internal position to the external position, the cam is configured to move to a pressing position at which the cam causes the first exposure head to be located at the first spaced position, due to rotation of the gear; and wherein, when the drawer unit moves from the external position to the internal position, the cam is configured to move to a pressing release position at which pressing against the first exposure head is released, due to rotation of the gear.
