Abstract
An image forming apparatus can include an image forming unit, a conveyance unit, a housing, a first electrical member, a second electrical member, and a wire bundle, wherein a rotation space is left below a pre-image forming conveyance unit in the housing to enable the conveyance unit to be moved. The wire bundle can be routed from the rear to the front of the housing in a space below the conveyance unit in a separated position. A size of the space left in the housing can be changed according to the rotation space of the conveyance unit. The space in the housing, which includes a part of the rotation space preset in the housing for rotation of the conveyance unit, can be effectively used as a space for routing the wire bundle. Thus, the wire bundle is disposed without an increase in a size of the apparatus.
