ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus has a main body containing an image forming unit which forms an image on a recording sheet by electrophotography, and a connector unit in which at least one external connection terminal is mounted. The external connection terminal is connected to a control unit which controls the image forming unit. The connector unit is supported on the main body so as to be rotationally movable to a position in which a plug can be inserted into the external connection terminal from the front of the main body, which corresponds to the operation side.
