減することができる。Therefore, we have constructed a process kit that integrates image forming equipment such as a photosensitive drum, developer, cleaner, and charger, and when replacing the photosensitive drum, each unit can be replaced at the same time, thereby reducing maintenance work. It is being considered. With the above configuration, the user can easily replace each process-related unit that requires periodic maintenance, and the maintenance work by service personnel can be reduced.
