Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• an image forming unit configured to form an image on a recording material;
• a casing accommodating the image forming unit;
• a sheet discharge unit including a first roller and a second roller,
• wherein the second roller is configured to form a nip portion to nip and convey a recording material by coming into contact with the first roller, and
• wherein, when viewed in an axial direction of the first roller, a straight line passing through a rotational center of the first roller and a rotational center of the second roller is defined as a first virtual straight line, a straight line orthogonally intersecting with the first virtual straight line is defined as a second virtual straight line, and the sheet discharge unit is configured to discharge a recording material, on which an image is formed by the image forming unit, obliquely upward along the second virtual straight line;
• a sheet supporting portion disposed at an upper portion of the casing, and including a supporting surface configured to support a recording material discharged by the sheet discharge unit;
• an operation unit including a display surface, and disposed above the sheet discharge unit in a vertical direction such that a part of the operation unit in a width direction intersecting with the vertical direction and a sheet discharge direction of a recording material overlaps the supporting surface when viewed in the vertical direction;
• a supporting unit disposed at the upper portion of the casing, and supporting the operation unit in such a manner that, in a state where the display surface is tilted with respect to a horizontal direction, an end on a lower side of the operation unit in the vertical direction is positioned below the second virtual straight line when viewed in the width direction;
• and
• a regulating portion disposed between the operation unit and the sheet supporting portion in the vertical direction,
• wherein the regulating portion is disposed such that, when viewed in the vertical direction, at least a part of the regulating portion overlaps the operation unit and the supporting surface in the width direction,
• wherein the regulating portion is disposed to intersect with the second virtual straight line when viewed in the width direction, and
• wherein the regulating portion is configured to regulate an obliquely upward movement of a recording material discharged by the sheet discharge unit.
