Paper feeding roller, image forming means, fixing means, paper discharging means, and a sheet guide are all slanted from the vertical direction. Support means, which supports the printed sheet discharged from the paper discharging means 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. The lower-edge support 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.
