Abstract:
Disclosed is an image forming apparatus including: an ejection section including an ejection roller to eject a sheet from a first sheet passing path to a sheet ejection port and a reverse roller to reverse a transport direction of a sheet transported along a second sheet passing path, the ejection roller and the reverse roller being placed close to each other and close to the sheet ejection port; and a switching lever switches the transport destination of the sheet between the first and the second sheet passing paths for transporting the sheet to the ejection roller and to the reverse roller, respectively. A moving trajectory of a sheet transported along the first sheet passing path between the ejection roller and the switching lever is substantially identical to a moving trajectory of a sheet transported along the second sheet passing path between the reverse roller and the switching lever.
