Estimating the term…
An image forming apparatus 1 is arranged such that a manual paper sheet feeding section 14 is detachably installed in a position corresponding to a manual transportation path 13. Further, the manual paper sheet feeding section 14 may be detached from the manual transportation path 13. With this, a paper sheet feeding device 30 can be installed in the position so that a paper sheet feeding vent 32 corresponds to the manual transportation path 13. Moreover, the manual paper sheet feeding section 14 thus detached can be installed so that a paper sheet feeding vent 149 corresponds to a paper sheet input vent 22 provided in a reverse transportation unit 15 connected to a reverse transportation path 21. This allows supply of paper sheets from both the paper sheet feeding device 30 and the manual paper sheet feeding section 14.
