Description

The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus comprising: an apparatus body; an opening/closing member movable between a closed position closed to the apparatus body and an open position open to the apparatus body, wherein the apparatus body comprises: an image forming unit for forming an image on a sheet; a sheet transport path including a first transport path and a second transport path through which the sheet passes; a guide member movable between a first guide position for guiding the sheet toward the first transport path and a second guide position for guiding the sheet toward the second transport path when the opening /closing member is in the closed position; a drive source ; and a pressing unit, wherein the guide moving member is configured to be in the first position when the opening/closing member is in the open position , and the drive The device includes a guide moving member which moves the guide member from a first guide position to a second guide position by pressing the pressed portion of the guide member when it moves from a first position to a second position in response to a driving force from a source, wherein the guide member is movable to a first retracted position that opens the sheet transport path when the opening/closing member is in the open position and the guide moving member is in the first position, and the pressing portion of the guide moving member located in the first position is positioned so as not to overlap with the movement trajectory of the pressed portion when the guide member moves between the first guide position, the second guide position and the first retracted position.
