Abstract: In the image forming apparatus, a developing unit and a fusing unit are arranged to horizontally face each other. A printing path between the developing unit and the fusing unit includes a downward slope to guide a printing medium immediately having passed through the transfer nip and an upward slope to guide the printing medium approaching the fusing nip. The fusing nip is located lower than the transfer nip, preventing pollution of a rear end of the printing medium.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus including: a first body; a second body to pivot between a closed position and an open position in relation to the first body; a guide lever member to control a pivoting of the second body and having a first end connected to one of the first body and the second body, and a second end, opposite the first end; and a guide rail member including: a guide rail along which the second end of the guide lever member is slidably connected. The guide rail member includes a first pressing portion to constrain the second end of the guide lever member in the open position of the second body, and a second pressing portion to prevent the second body from abruptly closing while the second body is being closed.
