Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a transfer unit, a fixing unit, a reverse rotary member pair, a first conveyance path, a second conveyance path, an opening and closing member, a first guide member, a second guide member, and a dividing member. The second guide member is supported by the opening and closing member and forms an inserted portion where a case of the fixing unit is inserted and one side of guide surfaces of the second conveyance path. The second guide member forms one side of guide surfaces of the first conveyance path in a state where the opening and closing member is in a closed position. The dividing member, in the state where the opening and closing member is in the closed position, divides a gap formed between the second guide member and the case inserted into the inserted portion from the second conveyance path.
