Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that moves adjacent cartridges C from an arrangement in which components of the cartridges C are overlapped with each other to an arrangement in which the cartridges C can be individually detachably attached to the apparatus in conjunction with cartridge replacement operation by a user, so as to improve usability and reduce FPOT.SOLUTION: In an image forming apparatus that has a withdrawal configuration in which a plurality of cartridges C can be integrally withdrawn and detachably attached to the apparatus, the pitch between drums is configured to be changed in conjunction with the contact and separation operation of a cartridge tray 144. 【課題】ユーザーのカートリッジ交換動作に連動し、隣接したカートリッジＣの部品が重なりあった配置から、カートリッジＣを各個に着脱可能な配置へ各カートリッジＣを移動させることで、ユーザビリティを向上させてＦＰＯＴ短縮を行う画像形成装置を提供する。【解決手段】複数のカートリッジＣを一体的に引き出し、着脱可能な引き出し構成を有する画像形成装置において、カートリッジトレイ１４４の当接離間動作に連動してドラム間ピッチが変化するように構成されていることを特徴とする。【選択図】図２１
