Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a body, an image former to form an image on a recording medium, and an inspection table on which the recording medium is placeable. The inspection table includes a placement surface on which the recording medium, on which the image is formed by the image former, is placeable for inspection of the recording medium, a movement support to movably support the placement surface between a use position and a non-use position, and a fixing member to fix the movement support to the body of the image forming apparatus.
Claims16
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a body;
- an image former to form an image on a recording medium;
- and
- an inspection table on which the recording medium is placeable,
- the inspection table including:
- a medium support on which the recording medium, on which the image formed by the image former, is placeable for inspection of the recording medium;
- a movement support to movably support the medium support between a use position and a non-use position;
- and
- a fixing member to fix the movement support to the body,
- wherein:
- the medium support of the inspection table faces obliquely upward at the use position,
- the inspection table is in front of the body at the use position, and
- the movement support includes:
- a front mover to move the medium support from the non-use position to a front side of the body;
- and
- a rotator to rotate the medium support that has moved to the front of the body to the use position at which the medium support faces obliquely upward.
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a body:
- an image former to form an image on a recording medium;
- and
- an inspection table on which the recording medium is placeable,
- the inspection table including:
- a medium support on which the recording medium, on which the image formed by the image former, is placeable for inspection of the recording medium;
- a movement support, fixed to the body, to movably support the medium support between a use position and a non-use position,
- wherein the medium support of the inspection table includes a surface that faces upward and is along a horizontal plane above the body at the non-use position.
An inspection table comprising:
- a medium support on which a recording medium, on which an image is formed by an image former, is placeable for inspection of the recording medium;
- a movement support, fixed to a body of an image forming apparatus, to movably support the medium support between a use position and a non-use position,
- wherein:
- the medium support faces obliquely upward at the use position,
- the inspection table is for use in front of the body of the image forming apparatus at the use position, and
- the movement support includes:
- a front mover to move the medium support from the non-use position to a front side of the body;
- and
- a rotator to rotate the medium support that has moved to the front of the body to the use position at which the medium support faces obliquely upward.
