Abstract:
An image forming apparatus of an internal ejection type in which a sheet ejection space is provided between an image reader and an image former, the image forming apparatus includes: an illuminator provided on a wall surface partitioning the sheet ejection space; a detector that detects a position of a work target enabled to move in pulling-out and storing directions within the sheet ejection space; and a controller that performs on/off control of the illuminator depending on a detection position of the detector, wherein in a case where it is detected that the work target is in a work position for performing human work, the controller performs on/off control of the illuminator to illuminate a work target portion that faces an interior of the sheet ejection space of the work target and is subjected to the human work.

Claim (Index 9):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 8 , comprising\n a necessity determinator that determines necessity of performing maintenance work on the post-processor, wherein in a case where a determination by the necessity determinator is affirmative, the controller performs on/off control to cause the illuminator to blink while the post-processor moves from a stored position where the post-processing is performed to a pulled-out position where the post-processor is subjected to the maintenance work.
