A laser printer includes a guide member for guiding a paper. The guide
member includes an outer guide and an inner guide, and a top surface of
the outer guide serves as a portion of a bottom surface of an
accommodating space where a process cartridge is accommodated. If a paper
jam occurs in a transport path defined between the outer guide and the
inner guide, then a user opens a front cover and removes the process
cartridge from the accommodating space. Then, the user grabs and pulls
the jammed paper out of the casing. While the paper bends at an acute
angle at the end of the guide member, rollers provided at the end of the
guide member enable the paper to be pulled out without being torn.
