An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a printer having a sheet discharge tray provided at an upper part of the printer;
• a scanning device disposed above the printer;
• a support member configured to support the scanning device on the printer, and define a sheet discharge space above the sheet discharge tray between the printer and the scanning device, the support member being made of resin;
• a first reinforcement plate fixed to the printer and the support member, the first reinforcement plate being made of metal;
• and
• a second reinforcement plate fixed to the scanning device and the support member, the second reinforcement plate being made of metal,
• wherein the support member has a notched part formed to communicate the sheet discharge space with an outside in a direction intersecting a sheet discharge direction on the sheet discharge tray,
• the first reinforcement plate extends at least in a vertical direction along the notched part, and
• the second reinforcement plate, which is not coupled with the first reinforcement plate, extends at least in the vertical direction along the notched part.
