ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus in which with a guide surface that is disposed upstream of a reference guide and is oblique so as to come close to a central portion in a width direction orthogonal to a sheet conveying direction of a re-conveying path as it extends from upstream to downstream, a sheet having been conveyed with deviated on the opposite side to the central portion side in the re-conveying path from a reference surface of the reference guide, is guided while being changed its orientation to the direction of the reference guide side. Furthermore, with a guide portion disposed along the guide surface, there is formed with respect to the guide surface a space acting to flex an edge portion of the sheet when the sheet is contacted with the guide surface.
