Original Abstract Submitted
An image forming apparatus includes a first opening/closing member to move between a first closed position, where it closes an attachment portion to receive toner supplied from a toner container, and a first open position, and an operation portion provided on a front surface of an apparatus body including a photosensitive drum. A second opening/closing member is provided on a side of the front surface of the apparatus body and moves between a second closed position, where the second opening/closing member closes with respect to the apparatus body, and a second open position. An upper part of the operation portion is held by the apparatus body so a display of the operation portion faces upward and downstream in the discharge direction and so the operation portion is located most downstream in the discharge direction in an area, above the second opening/closing member, of the front surface of the apparatus body.
