- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18334259 Titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS'
Simplified Explanation
The image forming apparatus described in the abstract includes several components such as an optical box, a housing with a discharge opening, a cover, and a circuit board. The circuit board consists of electronic components and a wiring board that connects them. The circuit board is positioned in a way that its surface, where the electronic components are mounted, intersects the discharge direction. The wiring board is located between the cover and the optical box in the discharge direction. When viewed from a vertical perspective, the optical box and the electronic components partially overlap each other.
Original Abstract Submitted
