Abstract:
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.
