Abstract: An image forming apparatus is configured to include an apparatus main body, further including an internal sheet discharge portion for ejection of a sheet having an image formed thereon; and a relay conveying unit, positioned in the internal sheet discharge portion, and configured to convey the sheet to a post-processing device. The relay conveying unit has: a body portion; a cover member positioned on a side surface of the body portion; a detection switch; and a hook positioned on the cover member. The body portion and cover member form a sheet conveying path, the cover member being turnable in vertical directions into opening and closing states, to open and form the sheet conveying path, respectively, as detected by the detection switch. The hook prevents the cover member from being turned from the closing state and switches the detection switch into an on state.

Abstract: A head unit includes a recording head, a head-side frame, a unit frame, a first head mounting member, a second head mounting member, a head angle adjustment mechanism, and an urging member. The unit frame is configured to hold the recording head on both side surfaces of a main frame standing along a width direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction of a recording medium. The urging member is arranged on a side opposite to an opposing surface of the first head mounting member and the second head mounting member with respect to the main frame, and is configured to urge the head-side frame in a direction of separating away from the main frame, A counteraction of a pressing force that acts on the head-side frame from the urging member acts on the first head mounting member and the second head mounting member from the head-side frame.
