ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes a main body housing including a plurality of walls, a duplex unit openably provided to one of the walls of the main body housing, that reverses a recording medium, and a handle that advances from and retracts to the wall of the main body housing including the duplex unit. The duplex unit includes a pocket which is a clearance formed in the advancing/retracting direction and a direction perpendicular to and adjoining the advancing/retracting direction of the handle so as to expose the handle inside the duplex unit. A front end of the handle in the advancing direction thereof is positioned at a retracted position when the handle is retracted to the pocket and positioned at an advanced position outside the duplex unit when the handle is pulled out from the retracted position.
