PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus allowing an operator standing in front of the apparatus to easily operate it, and also allowing an operator sitting on a wheel chair to easily perform an operation such as paper feeding or recovery of a paper jam. SOLUTION: In this image forming apparatus, a sheet storing portion 3 for storing a stack of a plurality of recording sheets and sequentially supplying the recording sheets to an image forming portion has a tray pullout frame 32 that can be pulled out to the front side of the apparatus and a sheet tray 31 provided in the tray pullout frame. The sheet tray stores recording sheets, and the tray pullout frame can be pulled out to a lateral side while the frame is mounted in the apparatus. The recording sheets are fed from the sheet tray to the front side, and conveyed to the image forming portion in the above part along the front surface of the apparatus body. The front part of the tray pullout frame can be open as the frame is mounted to the apparatus main body, so that the recording sheet transport path can be open and the apparatus can be restored upon a paper jam.
