Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] In an image forming apparatus that forms images on paper sheets sequentially fed from a paper feed cassette and then discharges the sheets from above the paper feed section, the main body is placed in a first position where the main body is closed and opened relative to the paper feed cassette body. a paper feed cassette lid that also serves as a paper ejection tray and is provided so as to be freely rotatable back and forth between a second position and a second position; a support member that supports via an elastic body an intermediate position between the second position and the second position where the paper sheets discharged on the back side can be loaded; and the paper feed cassette lid supports the gravity of the paper sheets loaded. and a detection member that detects when the image forming apparatus rotates and is located at the second position.
