In an image forming apparatus, a plurality of process units each including
a photoconductor drum are arranged in tandem; a plurality of exposure
units configured to expose the photoconductor drum to light to form an
electrostatic latent image thereon are each disposed above and opposite
to the corresponding photoconductor drum; an output tray configured to
receive an ejected recording sheet on which an image has been formed is
disposed above the plurality of exposure units; and an image reader unit
configured to read an image of a source document is disposed above the
output tray with a predetermined space provided between the image reader
unit and the output tray. At least one of the exposure units and at least
a part of the output tray are movable together into the predetermined
space, whereby the plurality of process units are allowed to be pulled
out in a direction of tandem arrangement thereof.
