摘要: An image forming apparatus is provided which ensures proper image forming when the apparatus is positioned either horizontally or upright. The apparatus includes a rotary, endless latent image carrier, and a latent image forming arrangement for forming a latent image on the latent image carrier. The apparatus also includes a developing arrangement for developing the latent image on the latent image carrier by using powdered developer, and a transferring arrangement for transferring a developed image on the latent image carrier to a sheet. The apparatus further includes a positioning mechanism for selectively positioning the developing arrangement relative to the latent image carrier at one of a first position corresponding to an upright installation of the apparatus and a second position corresponding to a horizontal installation of the apparatus.
