An image forming apparatus (100) including a process cartridge (30) detachably installable in a main body of the image forming apparatus (100), a main reference portion receiver (102a; 202a) to receive a main reference portion (303; 313) provided to the process cartridge (30), a sub-reference portion receiver (105; 205) to receive a sub-reference portion (304; 314; 314') provided to the process cartridge (30), and a pressing mechanism (110; 210) to press the process cartridge (30) to cause the main reference portion (303; 313) to contact the main reference portion receiver (102a; 202a) upon installation of the process cartridge (30) in the main body of the image forming apparatus (100). The pressing mechanism (110; 210) presses the process cartridge (30) in a direction angled with respect to a line connecting a center of the main reference portion (303; 313) with a contact position where the pressing mechanism (110; 210) contacts the process cartridge (30).
