    Abstract: A sheet feeder includes a tray, a paper feed member, a first detection section, and a second detection section. The tray has a placement surface having an upper surface on which a sheet is placed. The paper feed member is arranged on an entrance side of a sheet conveyance path and conveys the sheet in a conveyance direction. The first detection section detects a leading end side in the conveyance direction of the sheet placed on the placement surface. The second detection section detects a trailing end side in the conveyance direction of the sheet placed on the placement surface. The second detection section is arranged at an end section of the tray on a trailing end side in the conveyance direction.

    Abstract: An arm is disposed between a body-side rotary shaft provided in a housing and a cover-side rotary shaft provided in a cover. The arm includes a body-side arm member with one end supported by the body-side rotary shaft, a cover-side arm member with one end supported by the cover-side rotary shaft, a connecting pin configured to connect the other end of the body-side arm member and the other end of the cover-side arm member, a body-side urging member configured to urge the body-side arm member and the cover-side arm member in respective directions of being folded, and a cover-side urging member configured to urge the cover-side arm member toward the cover. When the cover is closed, the body-side arm member and the cover-side arm member overlap each other in an axial direction of the connecting pin.

    Abstract: The conveyance guide unit is provided with a guide member, a supporting frame, and an external cover. The guide member guides a sheet, which is discharged from a sheet discharge port of the image forming apparatus or from a sheet discharge port of a relay conveyance device installed in the image forming apparatus, to the sheet carrying-in port of a post-processing device. The supporting frame supports the guide member. The external cover is fixed to the supporting frame; the external cover covers an upper part of the guide member and side parts of the guide member in a traverse direction of a sheet conveyance path, which is perpendicular to a sheet conveyance direction. The external cover has an upper surface serving as an extension part of a discharge tray part of the post-processing device, the extension part being extended downstream, in a sheet discharge direction.

    Abstract: A sheet conveyor unit is connected to downstream side of an upstream side unit in a sheet conveying direction. The sheet conveyor unit includes a convey guide for receiving a sheet discharged from outlet of the upstream side unit. The convey guide is constituted of a pair of guide members disposed to face each other with a predetermined space therebetween. The guide members have the same shape and include base parts having guide surfaces that form a sheet conveying path when combined to face each other, and inclined parts bent to directions apart from the guide surfaces from one end of the base parts in the sheet conveying direction so as to form a receiving port. The convey guide is attached selectively to one of positions different in at least one of a height direction and the sheet conveying direction with respect to an apparatus main body.

    Abstract: The external cover is a cover to cover a coupling mechanism. The coupling mechanism is disposed in a space between an image forming apparatus and an optional device that is disposed on a side of the image forming apparats and couples the optical device with the image forming apparatus. The exterior cover has an upper portion and a side portion. The upper portion extends in a front-back direction of the image forming apparatus, which is perpendicular to a direction in which the optional device and the image forming apparatus face each other; the upper portion covers an upper end portion of the coupling mechanism in the space. The side portion covers a front end portion or a back end portion of the coupling mechanism. The external cover is composed of a combination of multiple, identically shaped cover members.
