An image forming apparatus includes a photoconductive drum and an image forming mechanism for forming a toner image on the drum. A transfer charger for transferring the toner image onto a paper is arranged to oppose the drum. A unit member is arranged to face the drum, and integrally provided with first and second support portions and first and second paper guides. The transfer charger is supported on the first support portion, and an aligning roller for feeding paper to the transfer charger is supported on the second support portion. The paper fed by the aligning roller is guided by the first guide to a position between the drum and the transfer charger, and is further guided by the second paper guide toward a fixing unit.
