An image forming apparatus includes plural toner image forming devices.
Each of which has a rotating photoconductor, a charging device that
uniformly charges a surface of the photoconductor, a latent image forming
device that forms an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the
charged photoconductor, a developing device that develops the
electrostatic latent image on the surface of the photoconductor to a
toner image, and a developing container that contains toner used by the
developing device. A diameter of the photoconductor of at least one toner
image forming device is formed larger than a diameter of the
photoconductor of the other toner image forming devices. Each developing
container of all the toner image forming devices is formed in
equal-sized, and a center of rotation of a developing roll of each
developing device is arranged in a position upper than a center of
rotation of each photoconductor.
