Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus body that forms an image on a recording material; a drawn-out unit that is provided so as to be drawable from the apparatus body and has a mount region on which the recording material is mounted; and a guide unit that is provided on the drawn-out unit and guides the recording material to a position where the recording material is to be mounted on the mount region. The guide unit has a guide surface that guides an end of the recording material, a hook part that is hooked onto the drawn-out unit and determines a position relative to the drawn-out unit, and a release part that releases the hook part from the drawn-out unit by being operated by a user from a guide surface side.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming unit that forms an image onto a recording medium; an image reading unit that is disposed above the image forming unit in an up-down direction, transports a document, and reads an image formed on the document; a first output section that is provided in a connection section connecting the image forming unit and the image reading unit to each other in the up-down direction and to which the document read by the image reading unit and transported in a width direction of the image forming unit is output; a second output section that is provided below the first output section in the connection section and to which the recording medium having the image formed thereon by the image forming unit is output; and a rotating member that serves as a front portion of the first output section in a depth direction of the image forming unit, is rotatable by a rotating shaft disposed at an upstream side in an output direction of the document, and switches between an output position from which the document is output and a descent position to which a downstream end of the rotating member in the output direction descends relative to the output position.
