ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus has a paper discharging section provided in its main body. The paper discharging section opens toward the front of the main body. An opening serving as a window for introducing light into the paper discharging section is provided on a side surface of the main body. Light enters the paper discharging section through the opening, so that the paper discharging section is brightened. As a result, it is possible to easily visually confirm whether or not a paper sheet exists in the paper discharging section. Additionally, vent holes adjacent the window opening serve to introduce cooling air along the axis of a fusing roller.
