An image forming apparatus includes a substantially horizontally arranged
image bearing member; a developing unit, including a plurality of
developing devices and supporting the developing devices rotatably
relative to the image bearing member; a movable intermediate transfer
belt supported by first and second rotation members and facing the
developing unit; a primary transfer member forming, together with the
image bearing member, a primary transfer portion located near the first
rotation member in a moving direction of the intermediate transfer belt,
through the intermediate transfer belt; and a secondary transfer member
forming, together with the second rotation member, a secondary transfer
portion through the intermediate transfer belt. A toner image formed on
the image bearing member by the developing unit is transferred on the
intermediate transfer belt at the primary transfer portion, and is
transferred on a recording material at the secondary transfer portion.
