Abstract
An image forming apparatus has an image forming device for forming an image on a sheet, a discharged-sheet receiving device provided at an upper part of a casing including the image forming device, for receiving the sheet with an image formed thereon after being discharged, and a receiving frame for receiving the casing including the image forming device, the receiving frame being provided with a guide unit for guiding the sheet received in the discharged-sheet receiving device. The guide unit guides the sheet received in the discharged-sheet receiving device to be removed so that the sheet does not interfere with the receiving frame when the sheet is removed.
