Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a housing, a charging roller, an image forming section, a bearing member, a holding member, an urging member, a fixing section, and an unfixing section. A cylindrical image bearing body is attached to the housing. The charging roller comes into contact with the surface of the image bearing body and charges the surface. The image forming section forms an image on the charged surface. The holding member holds the bearing member. The urging member urges the bearing member in a first direction. The fixing section fixes the bearing member in a first position. The unfixing section separates the charging roller from the surface of the image bearing body and positions the holding member in the housing, unfixes the bearing member, moves the bearing member to a second position, and brings the charging roller into contact with the surface of the image bearing body.
