Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier, a transfer member, a registration roller pair, and a conveyance guide which includes a first conveyance guide and a second conveyance guide. The second conveyance guide has a main body portion and a shaft member. The shaft member is held by a shaft holding portion of the main body portion so as to be reciprocatable between a first position which is a most downstream-side position and a second position on an upstream side of the first position. When a first recording medium is conveyed, the shaft member is arranged at the first position such that a distance between the shaft member and the first conveyance guide is a predetermined distance. When a second recording medium is conveyed, the shaft member is arranged at the second position such that the distance between the shaft member and the first conveyance guide is increased.
