ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an image forming apparatus having, on the upper surface of an apparatus main body, an operating section which is divided into an operating surface unit in which the angle of an operating surface with respect to a horizontal plane can be changed, and an operating section external unit formed outside the operating surface unit and including at least an upper-surface corner end of the apparatus main body. The apparatus includes an angle holding member for holding the angle of the operating surface with respect to the horizontal plane, a plurality of locking portions formed on the apparatus main body, and a plurality of locking target portions which are formed on the angle holding member and the operating surface unit and which can respectively be locked by the plurality of locking portions. Either the locking target portion provided to the angle holding member or the locking target portion provided to the operating surface unit is selectively locked by the locking portion of the apparatus main body in order to support the operating surface unit with the apparatus main body such that the operating surface of the operating surface unit is held at a plurality of angles with respect to the horizontal plane.
