ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes a transferring-and-feeding unit (103) including a transfer belt (110). The transferring-and-feeding unit (103) is supported by a support frame (115) swingable in the direction away from image forming portions (100) including photosensitive bodies (107). The fixing unit (104) includes release members (121) that bring a heat roller (117) and the pressure roller (118) to stop pressing the recording medium. As the support frame (115) swings, the transfer belt (110) separates from the photosensitive bodies (107), and the heat roller (117) and the pressure roller (118) stop pressing the recording medium, with the result that the recording medium can easily removed from the image forming apparatus.
