Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a casing, an opening and closing unit, an image forming unit, a registration roller pair, a detection unit, and a guide unit. The guide unit forms a sheet conveyance path that guides a sheet from the registration roller pair to an image forming position. The guide unit includes a guide surface arranged in a manner inclined toward a side of the registration roller pair from a direction parallel to a straight line connecting centers of the registration roller pair when viewed in an axial direction of the registration roller pair. The guide unit and the registration roller pair are arranged such that a nip line of the registration roller pair intersects the guide surface of the guide unit at a position upstream of a detection position of the detection unit in a sheet conveyance direction when viewed in the axial direction.
