Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes at least one developing device which may include a photoconductor and a developing roller, a light source configured to generate light to form an electrostatic latent image, a light scanner including a light window through which the light generated by the light source is transmitted, a shutter configured to open or close the light window, and a pressure member moved in response to the opening or closing operation of the shutter or the contact or separation between the photoconductor and the developing roller. The image forming apparatus can easily control the shutter without additional structures, resulting in implementation of a simplified structure.
