Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes: a frame that includes a pair of standing walls spaced apart from each other, and a linking section linking the pair of standing walls; and an intermediate transfer section that includes support rolls extending between the pair of standing walls and supported by the pair of standing walls, and an intermediate transfer belt held by the support rolls and circulating. The apparatus further includes built-in bodies, at least, into each of which a photoreceptor roll having a shaft with protruding both ends and rotatable around the shaft is incorporated, and which are arranged along the intermediate transfer belt while being supported in a state that the both ends of the shaft penetrate the pair of standing walls, and each of which is fixed to a first standing wall of the pair of standing walls by a screw.
