An image forming apparatus having a photoconductive element for forming a toner image by an electrophotographic process thereon, and transporting a paper sheet to which the toner image has been transferred from the photoconductive element along a paper transport path which extends from a paper feeding section to a paper discharging section via an image transferring section and an image fixing section. Various process units arranged along the paper transport path are divided into a paper feeding section and a transport unit which is located downstream of the paper feeding section and includes a transferring device, a fixing device and a paper transporting device. The paper feeding section is pulled out sideways from the apparatus body in a direction opposite to the direction of paper transport and pushed into the apparatus body in the direction of paper transport. The transport unit is pulled out of the apparatus body frontward perpendicularly to the intended direction of paper transport pushed into the apparatus body in the opposite direction.
