An image forming apparatus has a photosensitive body on which an electrostatic latent image is formed. A developing unit develops the electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive body with a developer to form a developer image. The developer image on the photosensitive body is transferred onto an intermediate transfer belt in an intermediate transfer unit. The transfer unit transfers the developer image transferred on the intermediate transfer belt onto a printing medium. A cleaning unit cleans any developer remaining on the photosensitive body, and a printing medium guide unit is provided at the cleaning unit to guide the printing medium until the printing medium enters the transfer nip between the intermediate transfer belt and the transfer unit. The printing medium guide unit is formed at a side of the cleaning unit adjacent to the printing medium conveying path. According to this structure, the printing medium can be stably conveyed to the transfer unit so that the transfer efficiency is increased and the guide structure of the printing medium is simpler.
