Abstract: An image forming apparatus comprises a first chassis, a second chassis, a first connector, a second connector, a first scale and a first indicator. The first chassis and the second chassis are connected via the first connector and the second connector. The first scale is provided on one of the first connector and the second connector. The first scale indicates a relative distance between the first chassis and the second chassis in a first direction. The first indicator is provided on the other of the first connector and the second connector. The first indicator points the first scale.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a first casing including a transfer unit, a second casing including a fixing unit, and a third casing provided between the first casing and the second casing and including an intermediary feeding member. The first casing includes a first discharging port discharging a recording material with a toner image. The second casing includes a first receiving port receiving the recording material with the toner image. A height from an installing surface of the image forming apparatus to the first receiving port in a vertical direction is different from a height from the installing surface to the first discharging port. The intermediary feeding member of the third casing is provided obliquely in the vertical direction from a second receiving port receiving the recording material from the first discharging port to a second discharging port delivering the recording material to the first receiving port.

Abstract: Disclosed is a sheet conveying apparatus, including: a first guide member for restricting a movement of an end portion of a sheet in a sheet width direction; a second guide member for restricting a movement of the other end portion of the sheet in the sheet width direction; and a moving portion, wherein when one guide member of the first guide member and the second guide member is moved in the sheet width direction, the moving portion moves the other guide member in a direction opposite to a direction in which the one guide member is moved while being interlocked with a movement of the one guide member in a first area of a moving area, and allows the one guide member to be moved without being interlocked with a movement of the other guide member in a second area of the moving area.

Abstract: An image reading device includes a turning unit and a reading unit having a reader and a reading glass. The reader reads, through the reading glass, an image on a sheet placed on the reading glass. The turning unit can turn with respect to the reading unit. The turning unit includes a pressing plate, a communication unit, and an attachment part. The pressing plate presses a sheet on the reading glass against the reading glass when the turning unit is at a position closing the reading glass. The communication unit receives data from outside the image reading device by wireless communication. The communication unit is detachably mounted within the turning unit. The attachment part attaches the communication unit and has a weight mounting portion capable of mounting a weight.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a scanner unit including a first image reading portion configured to read an image of a first surface of a document through a first flow-reading glass, an ADF including a second image reading portion disposed on an opposite side of the first image reading portion across a sheet conveyance path and reading an image of a second surface of the document through a second flow-reading glass. The image reading apparatus further includes a gap forming member disposed on either one of the second flow-reading glass and a moving guide unit and abutting with another one of them. The moving guide unit is provided in the scanner unit and is urged by springs to be movable toward the second flow-reading glass.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes first and second image reading units, and first and second transparent guides disposed along a conveyance path and guiding a document passing through a conveyance path. The first and second transparent guides are disposed to oppose to each other across the conveyance path. The image reading apparatus also includes a grounding portion provided on one of the first and second transparent guides and a conductive portion electrically connecting the first and second transparent guides with each other.
