An image forming apparatus includes an enclosure including a first guide part at least a part of which can be exposed to outside, wherein a sheet transporting device is attached to the enclosure, the sheet transporting device includes a second guide part at least a part of which is exposed to outside, and at least a part of a sheet transporting passage includes the first guide part and the second guide part.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a sheet transporting device for transporting a sheet and an image forming apparatus for forming an image on the sheet. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] An image forming apparatus generally includes an image forming part and a sheet transporting part for transporting a sheet to the image forming part, and the image forming part and the sheet transporting part are housed in an image forming apparatus main body. In the image forming apparatus as stated above, in order to form images on both sides of the sheet, the sheet on the surface of which an image is formed is reversed, the sheet is again transported to the image forming part, and an image is formed on the back side. [0005] Conventionally, as this kind of image forming apparatus, it is well known that a sheet reversing device is attached to an image forming apparatus main body, so that a sheet is reversed, and two-si...
