Summary:An image forming apparatus comprises a paper feed tray that can be opened and closed with respect to the apparatus body and a cover tray that can double as a manual feed tray. The paper feed tray has first side walls and first protrusions formed on the inner surfaces of the first side walls. The cover tray has: connection portions that are configured to be detachably connected to pivot shafts provided at the apparatus body and that are connected to the pivot shafts so as to rotate about the pivot shafts; second side walls; and second protrusions formed on the outer surfaces of the second side walls. The cover tray serves as a cover for covering sheets of paper stacked on the paper feed tray when it is in a position where the second protrusions are located below the first protrusions. The cover tray serves as a manual feed tray when it is in a position where the second protrusions are placed on the first protrusions so that the cover tray is inclined with one end adjacent to the pivot shafts located lower than the other end.
