IMAGE-FORMING DEVICE

An image forming apparatus is provided that is capable of facilitating visual recognition, from a front surface side and a lateral side of an apparatus body, of a sheet discharged on a discharge portion. An image forming apparatus (100) described herein is provided with a discharge port (9) that is provided in an apparatus body (1), an in-body discharge space (4) that is provided on a downstream side of the discharge port (9) in a discharge direction and is open on a downstream side in the discharge direction and on a front surface side of the apparatus body (1), and a discharge portion (10) that is provided in the in-body discharge space (4). At a part of the discharge portion (10) on the downstream side in the discharge direction and on the front surface side, a lifting piece (11) is provided that protrudes upward beyond an upper surface (10a) of the discharge portion (10) and lifts a corner portion of a sheet (P). The lifting piece (11) has a loading surface (11a) that is inclined upward toward the downstream side in the discharge direction and the front surface side and on which the sheet (P) is loaded, and a rear surface (11b) that is disposed on an opposite side to the loading surface (11a), and the rear surface (11b) is formed in a dark color.
