Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a first feeding portion including a first cassette and a first feed roller; and a second feeding portion including a second cassette and a second feed roller and disposed below the first feeding portion. The sheet fed by the second feed roller is conveyed toward an image forming portion through an intermediate path provided in the first cassette. The image forming apparatus further includes a controller to operate a display unit to display information that inhibits drawing of the first cassette, in a case where a first detection portion detects that the first cassette is empty and where the second feeding portion is performing a sheet feeding operation, with the first cassette being drawable from the apparatus body whether the second feeding portion is performing a sheet operation or not.
