To reduce the area that an apparatus main body occupies while maintaining a work space for a unit for jam processing etc., by arranging a movable part, which rotates upward around an axis orthogonal to the drawing-out direction of a unit from the device main body, above the unit.
An apparatus is equipped with an upper conveyor roller 41 supported on a conveyor roller support plate 42 formed of an elastic member, a guide unit 40 which can rotate upward in the opposite direction from the drawing-out direction of an exterior unit 20 above a fixing device 12, and a conveyor roller 36 which is paired with the upper conveyor roller 41 in a fixing device 12 body across a sheet conveyance path S. Further, a 1st conveyance path S1 is formed in parallel to the drawing-out direction of the exterior unit 20 and a 2nd conveyance path S2 is formed as a portion of the sheet conveyance path S between an external wall panel 35 of the exterior unit 20 and a guide unit 40 in parallel to the external wall panel 35.
