Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier, a first peel-off unit whose end portion is in contact with the image carrier and that peels off a recording medium from the image carrier, and a second peel-off unit whose end portion is not in contact with the image carrier and that peels off a recording medium from the image carrier. The second peel-off unit is disposed in such a way that the end portion thereof is located at a position that is the same as or upstream of a position of the end portion of the first peel-off unit in a rotation direction of the image carrier, and the second peel-off unit is movable so that the end portion thereof moves away from the image carrier.
