Publication number: 20210094783Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a drawer unit, a sheet inverting unit, a sheet guide plate, and a projection. The drawer unit is drawable from an apparatus body. The sheet inverting unit is disposed in the apparatus body, and pulls a sheet into a lower portion of the drawer unit to invert the sheet. The sheet guide plate is disposed on the sheet inverting unit to face the drawer unit, and includes a recess extending in a pull-out direction of the drawer unit that crosses a direction in which the sheet is transported. The projection protrudes toward the recess from a portion of a lower surface of the drawer unit facing the sheet guide plate near a pull-out start point in the pull-out direction and on a rear of a transport area of the sheet.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2020Publication date: April 1, 2021Applicant: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Yasunobu GOTO, Ryuga OISHI, Takuyoshi KIMURA, Takehiko KOIZUMI, Natsumi NAKATA
