Image Forming Apparatus

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes: an electrophotographic image forming section; a sheet feeding tray; a conveying roller; a sheet discharging tray; a sheet discharging roller that is switched between a first state in which the sheet discharging roller rotates in a first direction and a second state in which the sheet discharging roller rotates in a second direction in which the sheet is conveyed back toward the image forming section; and a re-conveying roller that conveys the sheet conveyed back toward the image forming section by the sheet discharging roller, the re-conveying roller having an axial direction parallel to an axial direction of the conveying roller and being located at a position at which the re-conveying roller projected onto a first virtual plane that is perpendicular to the axial direction at least partially overlap with the conveying roller projected onto the first virtual plane.

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
an image forming section that forms an image on a sheet in an electrophotographic method; a sheet feeding tray on which a sheet to be conveyed to the image forming section is placed; a conveying roller that conveys the sheet to the image forming section; a sheet discharging tray to which the sheet being formed with an image by the image forming section is discharged; a sheet discharging roller that is switched between a first state in which the sheet discharging roller rotates in a first direction in which the sheet is discharged to the sheet discharging tray and a second state in which the sheet discharging roller rotates in a second direction in which the sheet is conveyed back toward the image forming section; and a re-conveying roller that conveys the sheet conveyed back toward the image forming section by the sheet discharging roller, the re-conveying roller having an axial direction parallel to an axial direction of the conveying roller and being located at a position at which the re-conveying roller projected onto a first virtual plane that is perpendicular to the axial direction at least partially overlap with the conveying roller projected onto the first virtual plane.
