Abstract: A sheet storage device for storing sheets includes a supporting unit, a regulation unit, and a moving unit. The supporting unit supports stored sheets. The regulation unit is movably arranged on the supporting unit, and regulates a position of an edge portion of a sheet. The moving unit moves the regulation unit. The moving unit includes moving members to move in a direction parallel to a moving direction of the regulation unit. The moving members are moved by rotation of a rotation member in a case where the rotation member is in contact with the moving members. In a case where a fixing member attached to the sheet storage device in place of the rotation member, movement of the moving members is regulated by placing the moving members into contact with the fixing member.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a door; an image forming portion to form an image on a sheet; an image fixing portion including a heater, a nip, an electric energy supply connector for supplying electric energy to the heater, and a shutter for opening and closing an entrance of the fixing portion which leads to the nip; and a link connecting the door and shutter with each other to move the shutter in interrelation with movement of the door. When the door is opened, the link moves in a direction crossing with a surface of the nip to cause the shutter to move from an entrance opening position to an entrance closing position. When the shutter is in the closing position, substantially an entirety of the electric energy supply connector is covered by the link, as viewed from an upstream side relative to a sheet feeding direction in the nip.
