Abstract
One or more embodiments may be an image formation apparatus that may include: a roller attached to an apparatus main body to convey a medium; and a pivot member pivotable between a closed position and an open position relative to the apparatus main body. The pivot member includes: a cleaning member that is in contact with the roller to thereby remove adherents from the roller in a state where the pivot member is in the closed position; a first storage section provided to accommodate the adherents removed by the cleaning member; and a second storage section provided communicating with the first storage section through an opening. The pivot member is configured such that the removed adherents that is accommodated in the first storage section moves from the first storage section to the second storage section when the pivot member pivots from the closed position to the open position.
