An image forming apparatus has an image reading portion provided in an upper portion of an apparatus body on the side of its front surface, an optical signal generating portion provided in rear of the image reading portion, an image forming portion disposed downwardly of the optical signal generating portion, a fixing portion provided in the vicinity of a lower portion of the apparatus body on its front surface side, a sheet discharge portion, disposed between the image forming portion, the optical signal generating portion and the image reading portion, to which to discharge the record sheet onto which a toner image is fixed by the fixing portion, and an opening/closing cover rotated integrally with the image reading portion and the sheet discharge portion. When the opening/closing cover is opened, the image forming portion is exposed and a part of a sheet carry path extending from the fixing portion to the sheet discharge portion is made open. It is therefore possible to easily replace and repair the parts of the image forming portion and also operate a jam treatment of the record sheets.
