An image forming apparatus for forming an image on a sheet, includes an image forming unit configured to form the image on the sheet, a double-sided conveyance path through which the sheet with the image formed on a first surface passes before the image forming unit forms an image on a second surface opposite to the first surface, a guide member having a contact portion configured to contact one end of the sheet in the width direction of the sheet, the guide member being provided on the double-sided conveyance path, and a reversing roller pair forwardly and reversely rotatable, configured to convey the sheet to the double-sided conveyance path during a reverse rotation, the reversing roller pair having a drive shaft, and a first roller and a second roller coaxially disposed on the shaft, rotatable with the shaft, wherein the second roller is disposed at a position more away from the contact portion than the first roller in the axial direction of the shaft, the second roller having a larger outer diameter than the first roller.

An exposure device includes: a substrate that includes a plate-shaped main body that extends in one direction, a plurality of light emitting elements that are mounted on one surface of the main body, and a heating element that is mounted on the other surface of the main body generates heat in accordance with a light emitting operation of the light emitting elements; a housing that includes resin and that extends in the one direction, has a frame shape in which a through hole is formed, and to an inside of the through hole of which the substrate is fixed so that a thickness direction of the substrate is a penetrating direction of the through hole; and a suppression member that extends in the one direction, is fitted in the through hole, and suppresses thermal deformation of the housing.

The image reading unit (2) reads an image from a document. The image forming unit (3) is located below the image reading unit (2) and forms an image on a sheet. The operation unit (5) is rotatably supported at a position forward of the image reading unit (2) and receives user's operation. The post-process unit (7) is provided between the image reading unit (2) and the image forming unit (3), and has, at a position interfering with the rotation range of the operation unit (5), a retracted portion (772) retracted rearward in the post-process unit (7). The post-process unit (7) performs a post-process on a sheet on which an image has been formed by the image forming unit (3).

An image forming apparatus includes a main body housing, a drawer, a drum cartridge and a toner cartridge. The drawer is movable in a first direction between an inner position at which the drawer is located inside the main body housing and an outer position at which the drawer is located outside the main body housing. The drum cartridge includes a photosensitive drum. The drum cartridge is attachable to and detachable from the drawer. The toner cartridge accommodates toner. When the drum cartridge is attached to the drawer and the drawer is at the inner position, the toner conveyor conveys toner from the toner cartridge to the drum cartridge.

In order to miniaturize an image forming system, the present invention provides an image forming system which is provided with a sheet feed apparatus including a transport roller pair capable of transporting a sheet in a sheet transport direction S, and an image forming apparatus including an image forming section capable of forming an image on the sheet acquired from the sheet feed apparatus, including a switch member disposed on the downstream side of the transport roller pair in the sheet transport direction to be switched between a first position for guiding the sheet transported by the transport roller pair to the image forming apparatus, and a second position for guiding the sheet transported by the transport roller pair downward, and a storage tray disposed below the switch member predetermined space apart to be able to store the sheet guided to below the switch member positioned in the second position.

A skeleton frame has a pair of corner columns facing each other. An image forming apparatus includes a pair of support shafts protruding inward from respective inner side surfaces in the pair of corner columns, and an opening/closing member rotatably supported on a lower end portion by the pair of support shafts. A specific member moves horizontally from an outer side of the skeleton frame through between the pair of corner columns and is attached inside the skeleton frame. At least one of the pair of support shafts is also used as a guide portion that guides the specific member when the specific member is inserted into the skeleton frame through between the pair of corner columns.

An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming portion; a first metal side plate and a second metal side plate; an antenna; and a housing on which a discharging port is disposed, wherein the housing includes a top cover that is disposed at a position vertically higher than the first metal side plate, wherein in a region on a downstream side with respect to the antenna in a discharging direction where a recording material is discharged from the discharging port, an upper end of the first metal side plate is located at a position vertically lower than the antenna, and a resin support portion connected to the first metal side plate is disposed in the region such that the resin support portion supports the top cover, wherein the antenna and the resin support portion are disposed along the upper end of the first metal side plate.

An image forming apparatus that is capable of executing image forming operation includes an image bearing member; a developer carrying member that faces the image bearing member in a state of keeping a predetermined gap therefrom, and develops a latent image on the image bearing member using developer; a frame that supports the developer carrying member; applying units that applies developing voltage, in which DC voltage and AC voltage are superimposed, to the developer carrying member; a conductive member that is disposed in the frame; a detecting unit that detects AC current induced in the conductive member by applying the developing voltage to the developer carrying member; and a control portion that controls the applying units. The control portion controls the developing voltage in the image forming operation, based on the AC current which the detecting unit detects in a case where the voltage is applied by the applying units.

An image forming device, including: a housing; a drawer movable between an inside position at which the drawer is located inside the housing and an outside position at which the drawer is located outside the housing; a drum cartridge including a photoconductive drum and a developer roller and mountable on the drawer; a toner cartridge storing toner to be supplied to the developer roller and mountable on the drawer, wherein the drawer includes a first guide that guides the toner cartridge in mounting the toner cartridge on the drawer, and wherein the drum cartridge includes a second guide connected to the first guide in a state in which the drum cartridge is mounted on the drawer, the second guide being configured to guide the toner cartridge in mounting the toner cartridge on the drawer in the state in which the drum cartridge is mounted on the drawer.
