An image forming device includes an electrostatic latent image carrier on which
an electrostatic latent image is formed, a main frame which supports the electrostatic
latent image carrier and a developing unit. The developing unit includes a developer
carrier for supplying a developer to the electrostatic latent image carrier and
a replenish chamber for replenishing the developer in the developer carrier. The
developing unit is inserted removably in the main frame. A pressing mechanism is
provided on the main frame and presses a bottom surface of the developing unit
in a pressing direction along a straight line orthogonal to a rotational center
shaft of the electrostatic latent image carrier and a rotational center shaft of
the developer carrier. The developing unit includes a guide member which is fit
into one end part of the rotational shaft of the electrostatic latent image carrier
and guides the developing unit to move along the straight line. The main frame
includes a positioning long hole which is fit into another end part of the rotational
shaft of the developer carrier and guides the developing unit to move along the
straight line.
