Abstract
An image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording medium includes a main unit, a first door, and a second door. The main unit includes an image forming mechanism to form an image and a replaceable component to be ordinarily replaced by a user. The first door is arranged at a first part of a front side of the main unit. The first door is openable and closable. The second door is arranged at a second part of the front side of the main unit to vertically divide the front side of the main unit such that the first door and the second door do not overlap in a vertical direction. The second door is difficult to attach and detach to and from the main unit.
