Expansion unit and image forming apparatus

Abstract

An expansion unit includes a first member, a second member, and a functional unit. The first member is attachable to a first lateral side of an operation panel in a lateral direction and includes a first attachment portion on one side of the first member in a fore-and-aft direction orthogonal to the lateral direction. The second member is attachable to a second lateral side opposite to the first lateral side of the operation panel in the lateral direction and includes a second attachment portion on one side of the second member in the fore-and-aft direction. The functional unit includes a third attachment portion attachable to each of the first attachment portion of the first member and the second attachment portion of the second member. The functional unit attached to the first member and the second member is disposed adjacent to the operation panel in the fore-and-aft direction.
