Image forming apparatus configured to accommodate roll media and sheet-shaped media and feed tray therefor

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a housing in which a conveying path is formed;
• a feeding tray capable of being inserted into and pulled out from the housing, and including a first accommodation part in which a roll body having a configuration where a sheet-shaped medium is rolled in a roll shape is accommodated and a second accommodation part in which a plurality of sheet-shaped media are accommodated in a state of being stacked;
• an image forming unit configured to form an image on a sheet-shaped medium provided in the conveying path;
• a first guide member configured to guide a sheet-shaped medium to the conveying path;
• and
• a second guide member supported on the housing and configured to guide a roll medium, which is a sheet-shaped medium unrolled from the roll body, to the conveying path,
• wherein the second guide member is located on an opposite side to the first guide member, the roll medium being interposed between the first guide member and the second guide member,
• the second guide member is further configured to be movable between a guide position where the second guide member guides the roll medium to the conveying path, and a retreat position that is more distant from the first guide member than the guide position and where the second guide member does not interfere with a sheet-shaped medium accommodated in the second accommodation part,
• in a state that the second guide member is in the guide position, at least a part of the second guide member is arranged in an accommodation area where a sheet-shaped medium enables to be accommodated in the second accommodation part, and
• in a state that the second guide member is in the retreat position, an entirety of the second guide member is arranged outside the accommodation area.
