Image forming apparatus including chute located upstream of fuser

Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes a transfer roller, a fuser, a chute, and a reciprocating mechanism. The transfer roller is configured to transfer toner to a sheet. The fuser is configured to fix toner on the sheet. The chute is located upstream of the fuser in a sheet conveying direction. The chute is configured to convey the sheet on a sheet conveying surface. The chute is movable between a first position and a second position. The reciprocating mechanism is configured to reciprocate by drive force and to move the chute by pressing the chute in a direction from a sheet-conveying-surface side toward an opposite side. The sheet-conveying-surface side is a side of the chute at which the sheet conveying surface is located. The opposite side is a side of the chute opposite the sheet-conveying-surface side.
