The present invention has been made to provide a technique by which a switch unit that is disposed on the side surface of an apparatus body and shuts off, at maintenance time, power supply to predetermined electric components provided in the apparatus does not interfere with pull-out operation of a predetermined unit configured to be capable of being withdrawn from the side surface of the apparatus body without sacrificing the miniaturization of the apparatus. An image forming apparatus comprising: a predetermined unit capable of being withdrawn from the side surface of the apparatus body; a switch unit that is provided on the side surface of the apparatus body and that shuts off power supply to predetermined electric components in the apparatus body at maintenance time; and a retreat mechanism that retreats the switch unit to a position that does not interfere with withdrawal operation of the predetermined unit when the predetermined unit needs to be withdrawn from the side surface of the apparatus body.
