At least a part of the photosensitive member is placed between the anteroposterior ends of the intermediate transfer belt. The image forming apparatus body includes an openable section at an upper face side or a front face side thereof to allow the toner cartridge to be attached and detached therethrough and to allow a jam to be fixed therethrough.
