Abstract
A color electrophotographic apparatus with a developing unit for one color larger than the developing units for the other colors, comprising a first optical path where the laser signals irradiated from a laser exposure device reach a mirror at the central portion of a columnar assembly of image forming units and a second optical path where the laser signals reflected by the mirror reach and expose the photoconductor of the image forming unit at the image forming position formed between two adjacent developing units is provided.
