Abstract

An upper body which can be shifted from and toward a lower body through a link mechanism is formed. A drum unit and a toner unit are arranged on the side of the upper body. The upper body is opened in the parallel with respect to the lower body with a predetermined interval, by the link mechanism including arms. In the state where the upper body is opened, the drum unit and the toner unit can be detached from and attached to the printer device in frontward and backward directions, by sliding a sliding member arranged on the upper body.
