Abstract: An image forming apparatus including a main body provided with a section for forming an image on a copy paper, a paper supply section arranged below the main body for supplying the copy paper to the main body and a paper discharge section arranged below the main body for receiving the copy paper on which the image has been formed from the main body. The main body, the paper supply section and the paper discharge section are constituted separately and detachable from each other and are vertically arranged in an overlapped manner. The apparatus has a first conveyer for vertically transporting the copy paper from the paper supply section to the main body and a second conveyer for vertically transporting the copy paper from the main body to the paper discharge section. Therefore, the apparatus occupies the least possible mounting area.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus having a feed section being positioned at the front of the apparatus, a sheet discharging section being positioned above the feed section and a work table being attached to the front of the apparatus in a position above the sheet discharging section. The work table has a rotatable portion which is positioned above the feed section, and which is formed with an opening for taking out the sheet discharged from the discharging section. A support member is provided between the discharging section and the opening for supporting image-transferered sheets. When the rotatable portion is opened upwardly, the work table does not hinder the sheet supplementing work of the operator for the feed section.
