Image forming apparatus having sheet guide members openable for removing
a jammed sheet
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a reversing unit which reverses and feeds recording material fed from a fixing device, and a guiding device including first and second guide members facing each other to form a part of a first conveying path in which a recording material with a toner image fixed thereto is conveyed to the reversing unit from the fixing device. The second guide member forms, in cooperation with a third guide member, a part of a second conveying path in which the recording material is conveyed to an outside of the main body of the image forming apparatus. The first and second guide members are movable between a sheet guide position in which the first and second guide members guide the recording material along the first and second conveying paths, and a sheet jam removing position in which each of the first and second conveying paths is opened for removal of a jammed sheet. A feeding device feeds the recording material fed from the fixing device through the first and second conveying paths, respectively, and a displacement device displaces the first and second guide members to the sheet guide position or the sheet jam removing position in cooperation with the reversing unit.
