Abstract

See full text

An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus body having a casing. An operation panel section is arranged at one side of the casing of the apparatus body. An opening is used to feed sheets of paper from outside into the apparatus body through it or to discharge them outside from the apparatus body through it. A tray has one face and the other face and it is located adjacent to the opening, serving to hold sheets of paper discharged through the opening or to guide them into the apparatus body through the opening. According to this image forming apparatus, the tray can be moved to a position where the one face opposes the surface of the operation panel section of the casing when it is not used, and has an operation section through which the operation panel section of the casing can be operated from the other face when the tray is at that position.
