Abstract
An image forming apparatus having a duplex conveyer is provided. The duplex conveyer includes a first roller and a second roller arranged in an area closer to a first side surface of a body rather than a second side surface to align along a widthwise direction, a third roller and a fourth roller arranged to contact the first roller and the second roller respectively, an upper guide supporting the first roller and the second roller, and a lower guide arranged to face the upper guide at a position lower than the upper guide. The upper guide has a recessed portion at a position between the first roller and the second roller. The recessed portion recesses from an end of the upper guide on a side facing the first side surface toward the second side surface beyond an axis of the first roller.
