CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The entire disclosure of Japanese patent application No. 2020-133002, filed on Aug. 5, 2020, is incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present invention relates to an image forming device.

2. Description of the Related Art

Conventionally, image forming devices that form images on paper have been known. JP2003-54778A and JP2002-356245A disclose such image forming devices. A conveyance table that forms a paper conveyance path is inserted into and pulled out of a device body.

In some devices, a manual paper feeder (handling roller and manual paper feed roller) is integrated with the conveyance table. When the conveyance table is inserted and pulled out, the manual paper feeder is also inserted and pulled out.

When paper jam occurs in the conveyance path of the conveyance table, a user or the like pulls out the conveyance table, opens and closes one side (such as an upper part) of a guide plate that guides sheets, and removes a sheet.

However, since the paper feeder (paper feed mechanism) provided on the conveyance table is integrated with the conveyance table as described above, a space for opening the guide plate for the conveyance path is narrow. The opening is not enough. Coping with a paper jam is sometimes difficult.

In recent years, there has been a demand for miniaturization of devices. However, if a space is made between the paper feeder and the conveyance path to increase an opening amount of the conveyance path for sheets, the device gets larger.

SUMMARY

One or more embodiments of the present invention facilitate coping with a jam in an image forming device by securing a space for removing jam paper when the device is stopped for coping with the jam without increasing a size of the device during operation.

According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, an image forming device includes:a device body;a conveyance table which is inserted into and pulled out of the device body and which forms a conveyance path for a sheet;a sheet mount portion on which the sheet is placed;a paper feeder which is provided on the conveyance table and which feeds the sheet from the sheet mount portion to the conveyance path; anda movable support which movably supports the paper feeder on the conveyance table in a state where the conveyance table is pulled out of the device body,whereinthe paper feeder covers a predetermined conveyance path part of the conveyance path in a state where the paper feeder together with the conveyance table are inserted into the device body,the sheet mount portion is provided in the device body, and separates from the paper feeder when the conveyance table is pulled out of the device body, andthe movable support allows the paper feeder to move away from the conveyance path part.
