Abstract
An image forming apparatus that includes a cover. By rotation of the cover from a closed position toward an open position, a pressing portion urges a portion-to-be-urged, and a slidable portion is slid (moved) from one end side toward the other end side with respect to a rotational axis direction of a photosensitive drum by the urging, so that an optical print head moves from an exposure position toward a retracted position.
