Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image on a sheet, a casing accommodating the image forming unit, a pair of doors which open from center, and a protrusion portion. The pair of doors which open from center include a first door, a second door, and a handle. The handle is disposed on an opposite surface of an exterior surface of the first door. The protrusion portion protrudes from an end of the second door toward the first door in a direction intersecting with the second pivot axis and extending an exterior surface of the second door when the pair of doors are closed. The handle covers a gap between the first door and the protrusion portion in a front-back direction of the image forming apparatus when the pair of doors are closed.
