An image forming apparatus includes a first casing including a transfer unit, a second casing including a fixing unit, and a third casing provided between the first casing and the second casing and including an intermediary feeding member. The first casing includes a first discharging port discharging a recording material with a toner image. The second casing includes a first receiving port receiving the recording material with the toner image. A height from an installing surface of the image forming apparatus to the first receiving port in a vertical direction is different from a height from the installing surface to the first discharging port. The intermediary feeding member of the third casing is provided obliquely in the vertical direction from a second receiving port receiving the recording material from the first discharging port to a second discharging port delivering the recording material to the first receiving port.

A sheet characteristic detection device includes: a detector that is disposed on a sheet ejection path through which a sheet is ejected and that detects an electrical resistance value of the sheet; and a charge neutralizer that is disposed on a downstream side of the detector on the sheet ejection path and that neutralizes electric charge on the sheet.

A recording medium transport device includes a medium accommodation section that accommodates a recording medium, a medium path that is a path through which the recording medium fed out from the medium accommodation section passes, a merging path that merges with the medium path and that is a path through which the recording medium fed out from another accommodation section different from the medium accommodation section passes in a case of heading for the medium path, and a processor configured to transport the recording medium fed out from the medium accommodation section to an upstream side in the merging path through the merging path, reverse a transport direction of the recording medium, and transport the recording medium to the medium path.
