Recording medium transporting device and image forming apparatus

A recording medium transporting device includes a transport path, a first open-close portion, and a second open-close portion. A recording medium on which an image is formed is transported over the transport path. The first open-close portion is disposed on a side surface of the transporting device so as to be openable to cover and closeable to uncover the transporting device. The first open-close portion renders a first portion of the transport path open when the first open-close portion is opened so as to uncover the transporting device. The second open-close portion is located inside the transporting device at a position further inward of the first open-close portion so as to be openable to cover and closeable to uncover the transporting device. The second open-close portion renders a second portion of the transport path open when the second open-close portion is opened so as to uncover the transporting device.
