Claim 18:
19. An image forming apparatus comprising:
an image forming unit configured to form an image on a recording medium;
a tray on which a sheet to be fed is supported;
a feeding unit configured to feed the sheet supported on the tray;
an image reading unit configured to read an image of the sheet fed by the feeding unit;
a discharge unit configured to discharge the sheet whose image has been read by the image reading unit in a discharge direction;
a stacking portion on which the sheet discharged by the discharge unit is stacked; and
a swing member supported by the tray and configured be moved in a case where the swing member is pushed by the sheet discharged by the discharge unit,
wherein the stacking portion includes
a bottom surface portion,
a first portion including a first surface that is provided on an upper portion of the first portion and is inclined upward toward a downstream side in the discharge direction, the first portion being higher than the bottom surface portion and configured to support the sheet at the first surface, and
a moving member configured to support the sheet discharged by the discharge unit, the moving member being arranged such that a position of the moving member in a sheet width direction orthogonal to the discharge direction overlaps a position of the swing member in the sheet width direction, the moving member being configured to be pulled out in the discharge direction,

wherein the moving member is movable to a position downstream of the first surface in the discharge direction,
wherein the swing member overlaps the first surface of the first portion when viewed in the sheet width direction in a case where the swing member is not in contact with the sheet discharged by the discharge unit, and
wherein the swing member is arranged such that a lower end of the swing member remains separated from the bottom surface portion of the stacking portion.
