Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a photosensitive drum; a transfer roller configured to form a nip portion; and a sheet guide that is configured to guide a recording sheet. The sheet guide comprises: a conductor configured to face the recording sheet, and insulating ribs that are arranged corresponding to a printing area of the recording sheet in a width direction and are configured to protrude from the conductor to guide the recording sheet. The conductor comprises: a central portion, and a pair of end portions and are configured to protrude towards the recording sheet from a virtual plane extending from the central portion in the width direction. Protrusion amounts of the end portions with respect to the central portion are smaller than a protrusion amount of each rib from the central portion of the conductor.
