ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus which includes both a front cover and a side cover which must be opened to properly access an area where a paper jam may occur. The side cover includes an extending portion protecting board which extends into an area covered by the front cover. The protecting board prevents access to internal elements of the image forming apparatus which an operator may attempt to access if a paper jam occurs, without also opening the side cover. Thereby, an operator is required to properly open both the front cover and the side cover to address a paper jam situation.
