• a transport section that transports the medium along the transport route;
• a document placement section that places an original sheet;
• a reading section that reads the original sheet, the reading section being positioned higher than the recording section;
• a supply section that supplies the original sheet to the reading section;
• an ejection section that ejects the original sheet that has been read by the reading section;
• a supply route through which the original sheet passes, the supply route extending between the supply section and the ejection section;
• and
• a separation section that separates the medium from other media stored in the storage section,
• the separation section being positioned behind the reading section in the depth direction, wherein
• the housing has a front surface with an ejection hole through which the medium on which the recording section has performed the recording operation is ejected, the front surface also having a control panel, and
• the document placement section and the control panel overlap in a width direction, the width direction being a direction view from the front surface of the housing.
