Abstract
A long sheet loader, which is included in an image forming apparatus, includes an attaching device and a base loading body. The attaching device is attached to a bypass tray configured to be openable or closable relative to a side face of an apparatus body of an image forming apparatus. The base loading body is attached to the bypass tray via the attaching device and movably in a sheet feeding direction of the bypass tray. The base loading body loads a long length sheet set on the bypass tray in a case in which a length of the long length sheet exceeds a length of the bypass tray.
