Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a drive unit, an image bearing member, a developing unit, a support unit, an urging member, and a switching mechanism. The urging member generates an urging force for pivoting the support unit in an approaching direction in which a peripheral surface of a developing roller is moved toward a peripheral surface of the image bearing member. The switching mechanism switches the support unit between a first position (fitting position) and a second position (releasing position). The support unit includes: a second drive input section disposed coaxially with a pivot shaft and for receiving a rotational drive force from a drive output shaft of the drive unit; and a transmission mechanism for transmitting the rotational drive force to a first drive input section. The rotation direction of the rotational drive force is for rotation in a direction of pivoting the support unit in the approaching direction.

Abstract: An optical scanning device includes a housing, a transmissive member, a wire-shaped member, a driving portion, a cleaning holder, a cleaning member, a stopper, and a control portion. The control portion is capable of executing a cleaning mode including at least one of a forward travel operation of controlling the wire-shaped member to travel in a first direction so that the cleaning holder moves along the transmissive member and a backward travel operation of, after executing the forward travel operation, controlling the wire-shaped member to travel in a second direction so that the cleaning holder moves in an opposite direction to a direction of the forward travel operation. The control portion executes a load releasing operation of controlling the cleaning holder to move by a prescribed amount in an opposite direction to the direction of the forward travel operation or the direction of the backward travel operation.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus of the present disclosure is provided with a main body-side substrate, a cover member, a metallic main body frame, and a metallic thumbscrew. The main body-side substrate is provided in a main body of the image forming apparatus, and an electrical component is mountable thereto. The cover member covers an outer side of the main body-side substrate. The cover member is secured to the main body frame. The thumbscrew is used to secure the cover member to the main body frame. The cover member is demounted from the main body frame by unscrewing the thumbscrew, and thus mounting of the electrical component with respect to the main body-side substrate is enabled.
