It is described an image forming apparatus, in which paper feeding roller (21), image forming means (30), fixing means (40), paper discharging means (50), and a sheet guide (60) are all slanted from the vertical direction. Support means (70), which supports the printed sheet discharged from the paper discharging means (50) in a state that it is slanted from the vertical direction to the inside of the image forming apparatus, is formed by the side portion of the case (10). The lower-edge support (72) for supporting the lower edge of the discharged sheet is positioned at a level that is higher than the lower edge of the sheet to be fed. The slanting angle of the support means is selected to have such a value as to prevent the sheet from slipping down from the support means when the image forming apparatus is laid down. <IMAGE> |
