<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that allows an attachment posture of a connector of a fuser unit to a housing to be changed when in use and when packed, and reduces an external dimension of a packing material when packed, so as to reduce costs for packing materials and transportation. <P>SOLUTION: A connector 31 for receiving power is provided to the external surface of a fuser unit 3 that is attached to and detached from a body part 4. The connector 31 is supported by a connector holder 32. The connector holder 32 is assembled attachably and detachably to a lead opening 33 of a housing 15 via an engagement structure. Attaching and detaching the connector holder 32 allows a posture of the connector 31 and the connector holder 32 to be changed between a use posture to protrude to the external surface of the housing 15, and a packed posture to be accommodated along the external surface of the housing in a state of being connected to a power supply lead 36. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
