The board has first and second surfaces and includes electronic components on at least one of the surfaces. The housing includes a frame supporting the conveyor, the image forming engine, and the board, and a cover removably attached to the frame and covering the conveyor, the image forming engine, and the board in a first direction orthogonal to an up-down direction and the first surface. The board is disposed, in the first direction, between the cover, and the conveyor and the image forming engine. A length of the board in a second direction orthogonal to the up-down direction and the first direction is equal to or less than half a length of the housing in the second direction.
