ABSTRACT:
A support structure is provided at an upper rear end portion of a housing of a main body of an image forming apparatus for supporting a document holder provided with a conductive support column. The support structure includes a supporting device for supporting the conductive support column of the document holder, the supporting device including a contact portion made of a conductive material and connected with a frame of the main body. In the state where the document holder is supported by the support device, a front face of the support column is in contact with the contact portion. Consequently, static charges accumulated on the document holder can be brought to the frame of the main body through the support column and the contact member, thereby preventing an operator to receive an electric shock.
