Problems solved by technology

[0011] Existing image forming apparatuses have the above-mentioned structural restrictions, so when the user opens the cover of the image forming apparatus to confirm the paper jam situation, he must confirm it from the side of the apparatus, and the direction of confirmation is limited.
In addition, since the space inside the device is narrow, it is difficult to check the inside of the device
Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to find the position where the paper jam occurs.

Embodiment Construction

[0028] like figure 1 (A) and figure 1 As shown in (B), the image forming apparatus 100 is provided with an image reading unit 130 on the upper part of the apparatus body. The image reading unit 130 corresponds to a document loading table, and includes a first document loading table 131 and a second document loading table 132 as will be described later. On an upper portion of the image reading unit 130 , a panel unit 110 and an automatic document conveying unit 120 are provided. The panel unit 110 includes a display unit and an operation unit. The image forming apparatus 100 includes an image forming unit 140 and a paper feeding unit 150 inside the apparatus body.

[0029] The image forming apparatus 100 is provided with a side cover 201 on the right side, which is a side portion of the actual apparatus. The side cover 201 is pivotally supported by shafts 202 provided at the lower ends of both side surfaces, and can be opened and closed freely (refer to figure 2 ). like ...

Abstract

An image forming device (100) comprises: a lateral cover (201) which is disposed to be freely openable upon the lateral part of the device proper; a fixing unit (80) which is disposed within the device proper at a location which is near to the lateral cover (201), and which fixes an image to printer paper (P) which is conveyed from below the device proper in an upward direction; and a source document loading platform (130) which is disposed upon the upper part of the device proper, and whereupon a source document is loaded. A notch part (130K) is disposed which is cut into the inner side of the portion of the source document loading platform (130) which is opposite the upper part of the lateral cover (201), allowing visual recognition of a nip (85) of the fixing unit (80) by way of the notch part (130K) obliquely from the upper lateral part of the device proper when the lateral cover (201) is opened.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus including a side cover that can be opened and closed on a side portion of the main body of the apparatus. Background technique [0002] In an image forming apparatus, if a paper jam (paper jam) occurs during image formation, a sensor detects the paper jam, and stops conveyance of paper. At this time, the user needs to open the side cover provided on the side of the device body to check the inside of the device and remove the clogged paper. [0003] Hitherto, when a paper jam occurs in the fixing unit and its vicinity, an image forming apparatus has been disclosed that is excellent in visibility of the situation and removability of jammed paper (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). In the image forming apparatus described in Patent Document 1, the guide member is largely rotated and displaced by operating the control lever, so that the nip at which the heating roller and the pressure roll...
