<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device capable of freely diversifying a function by a user, a sheet receiving mechanism therein, and a novel discharged sheet loading device to be selectively mounted. SOLUTION: In this image forming device, a sheet discharging portion is formed in a recessed portion formed to open to an outer casing, a discharged sheet loading mechanism is attachable by replacing the sheet receiving mechanism placed on the sheet discharging portion. The discharged sheet loading mechanism comprises a plurality of sheet receiving trays vertically arranged in multistage, a discharging/conveying mechanism for conveying sheets to the sheet receiving trays, and a conveying path switching mechanism for switching branched conveying paths to make the sheets to reach respective sheet receiving trays. Further, by replacing the sheet receiving tray on one branched conveying path in the discharge sheet loading device, a second stage discharged sheet loading device is attachable.</p> |
