An image forming apparatus includes a rotatable image bearing member; an
exposure unit, disposed below the image bearing member, including a
transmitting portion for transmitting a laser beam to which the image
bearing member is exposed; a developing unit disposed above the exposure
unit for developing, with toner, a electrostatic latent image formed on
the image bearing member; and a toner supply opening for supplying toner
into the developing unit above the exposure unit, wherein the toner
supply opening is in a range, with respect to a rotation axial direction
of image bearing member, inside an end of the exposure unit and outside
the transmission portion.
