Field: Telecommunications (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. An image forming apparatus comprising:
an image forming unit;
a main substrate configured to control the image forming unit;
a wireless communication substrate having an antenna configured to perform wireless communication;
a sub-substrate having a first substrate surface and a second substrate surface opposite to the first substrate surface;
a main connector provided on the main substrate;
a communication connector provided on the wireless communication substrate;
a first connector provided on the sub-substrate and being electrically connected to the main connector such that the sub-substrate is parallel to the main substrate; and
a second connector provided on the sub-substrate and being electrically connected to the communication connector such that the sub-substrate is parallel to the main substrate,
wherein a position of the first connector is shifted from a position of the second connector, and a position of the antenna does not overlap with the main substrate, seen from a direction orthogonal to the first substrate surface of the sub-substrate, the direction being orthogonal to a surface of the antenna.
