Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a first casing including an image forming section for forming an image on a recording medium;
• and
• a second casing, arranged above the first casing, including an ejecting section to which the recording medium formed with the image at the image forming section is ejected, and an image scanning section provided above the ejecting section and capable of reading image information from a document,
• wherein the second casing is provided with an upper surface including a generally horizontal surface, a lower surface extending beyond the upper surface in a generally horizontal direction and a side surface connecting an end edge of the upper surface and an end edge of the lower surface with each other,
• wherein the first casing is provided with an upper surface coming into contact with the lower surface of the second casing and a side surface including a generally vertical surface,
• wherein an inclined surface connecting the generally vertical surface of the first casing and the generally horizontal surface of the second casing with each other, is provided continuously along the first casing and the second casing,
• wherein the image forming section includes a plurality of image carriers which are parallelly arranged along the generally horizontal direction in the first casing and on which electrostatic latent images are formed, and
• wherein an LED element for forming the electrostatic latent image by exposing the image carrier is mounted on the second casing.
