Summary:To provide an image forming apparatus that can reduce deformation of and damage to a belt unit and a detection unit.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus comprises: an apparatus body that has a main body frame; a belt unit that is movable between a first position and a second position; and a detection unit that is movably supported by the main body frame and detects a toner image transferred to a belt. The detection unit moves relative to the main body frame in conjunction with a movement operation of the belt unit moving from the first position to the second position so as not to inhibit the movement of the belt unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12 【課題】ベルトユニットや検知ユニットの変形や破損を低減可能な画像形成装置を提供する。【解決手段】画像形成装置は、本体フレームを有する装置本体と、第１位置と第２位置との間を移動可能なベルトユニットと、本体フレームに移動可能に支持され、ベルトに転写されたトナー像を検知する検知ユニットと、を備える。検知ユニットは、ベルトユニットが第１位置から第２位置へ移動する移動動作に連動して、ベルトユニットの移動を阻害しないように本体フレームに対して移動する。【選択図】図１２
