However, in the arrangement of the copying machine 1 described above, the paper feed trays 5a, 5a
Since b, 5c, the toner collection container 7, the HCF 9 and the like are all arranged on the front surface, the area of the front surface of the device becomes large, and there is a problem that the size of the device becomes large. Further, when the HCF 9 is incorporated in the copier body under such an arrangement, the copier is enlarged. On the other hand, when the HCF 9 is built in the main body of the copying machine, an accommodation space can be secured behind the HCF 9. For example, if the toner collection container 7 is arranged in this space, the area of the front of the apparatus can be reduced, and The arrangement density can be improved and the device can be made more compact. However, if the toner collection container 7 is arranged behind the HCF 9, a new problem arises in which it is difficult to remove the toner collection container 7. That is, when the toner collection container 7 is taken out from the front side, after the HCF 9 is pulled out, the toner collection container 7 on the back side of the apparatus must be taken out, and the workability is poor, and a rear cover (not shown) is provided on the rear side of the apparatus. When the rear cover is opened and closed, every time the rear cover is opened and closed, a problem arises in that the heavy copying machine body must be moved. Also, HC
If the F9 and the toner collection container 7 are integrally connected, the back side toner collection container 7 can be pulled out together with the HCF 9; however, each time the frequently exchanged HCF 9 is pulled out, the toner exchange container 7 with a low exchange frequency is pulled out. As a result, the probability of toner leakage from the toner collection duct or the like is increased. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and by arranging the built-in members at high density, it is possible to achieve compactness of the device, and to easily operate the built-in members arranged on the back side as necessary. The present invention provides an image forming apparatus capable of performing the following.
