Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a first housing that houses a first processing portion and a second housing that houses a second processing portion configured to receive a medium transported from the first processing portion. The image forming apparatus further includes a connecting member that connects the first housing and the second housing to each other such that a specified angular relationship may be established between the first processing portion and the second processing portion by orienting the first housing and the second housing in different directions.
