Abstract
An image forming apparatus for forming an image on an optical disk or similar synthetic resin sheet is disclosed. The image forming apparatus feeds and collects the synthetic resin sheet from a conveyance path at the same position. A single space therefore suffices for both of the feed and collection of the synthetic resin sheet, promoting the compact configuration of the apparatus. The conveyance path is inclined relative to the horizontal plane and therefore saves space to thereby promote the efficient use of a limited floor area.
