IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

Provided is an image forming apparatus capable of easily recovering a jam sheet nipped by a fixing roller and a pressure roller.;In an entrance guide which guides a sheet to a fixing nip portion between a fixing roller and a pressure rolle, a bending portion is provided on a back side of a guide face which guides the sheet to the fixing nip portion. Then, when the sheet to be discharged toward the entrance guide by a manual discharge member enters the back side of the entrance guide, a downstream side end in a discharging direction of the sheet is locked to the bending portion, and thus the central portion of the sheet in the sheet discharging direction is bent along the surface of the guide face by discharging the sheet in a state where the downstream side end in the discharging direction is locked.

主权项

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
an image forming portion which forms a toner image; a transfer portion which transfers the toner image onto a sheet; and a fixing device which fixes the transferred toner image on the sheet, wherein the fixing device includes: a fixing roller; a pressure roller which is pressed against the fixing roller; a guide member which is disposed at an upstream of a nip portion between the fixing roller and the pressure roller to guide the sheet to the nip portion; a manual discharge member which is manually operated to move the sheet nipped by the nip portion toward the guide member; and a locking member which is provided on a back side of a guide face, which guides the sheet to the nip portion of the guide member, such that a central portion of the sheet in a sheet discharging direction is bent along a surface of the guide face by a locking of a downstream side end in a moving direction of the sheet when the sheet to be moved by the manual discharge member enters the back side of the guide member.
