Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the following problem: a belt cover is fixed to an intermediate transfer unit in a conventional manner, then, when the intermediate transfer unit retreats from a photoreceptor drum, the belt cover retreats as long as the unit retreats, thereby, a retreat space required for the belt cover becomes larger, and then, to achieve the miniaturization of a color printer body. SOLUTION: The color printer is configured such that the belt cover comes close to the intermediate transfer belt when the intermediate transfer unit retreats from the photoreceptor drum. Accordingly, when the intermediate transfer unit retreats from the photoreceptor drum, the retreat space required for the belt cover is made smaller. Consequently, the miniaturization of the color printer body is achieved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
