| 1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a printer body having a developing portion and a fixing portion therein;
a plurality of sheet feeding rollers successively disposed along a sheet discharge path of the printer body and driven to
discharge a sheet from the fixing portion to an upper portion of the printer body; and
a rear cover portion having a rear cover provided on a side of the printer body to open and close, a guide rib member to guide
the sheet from the fixing portion, an idle roller to rotate in contact with one of the sheet feeding rollers to feed the sheet,
and a supplementary guide member to change a position thereof when the rear cover is open to prevent the sheet being discharged
to the guide rib member from running into the idle roller.
