Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a casing, a door, a connecting member, a guide member, and an operating portion. The operating portion moves, through an operation by a user when the door is at a first opened position, from a regulating position where the connecting member is regulated from moving from a first guide to a second guide, to an allowing position where the connecting member is allowed to move from the first guide to the second guide. When the operating portion is at the regulating position, the door is configured to be retained at the first opened position by engagement of the connecting member and the first guide. When the operating portion is at the allowing position, the door is configured to be retained at the second opened position by movement of the connecting member from the first guide to the second guide.
