Abstract
An example image forming device includes a printing portion to print an image on a print medium, a protruding portion protruding upward from an upper surface of the printing portion and comprising an accommodation portion, and a keyboard movable between a storage position in which the keyboard is partially stored in the accommodation portion and a withdrawal position in which the keyboard is withdrawn from the accommodation portion. In the storage position, the keyboard is positioned inside an outermost surface of the printing portion.
Claims15
An image forming device comprising:
- a printing portion to print an image on a print medium;
- a protruding portion protruding upward from an upper surface of the printing portion and comprising an accommodation portion formed between a first part of the protruding portion and a second part of the protruding portion positioned on an upper portion of the first part;
- and
- a keyboard movable between a storage position in which the keyboard is partially stored in the accommodation portion and a withdrawal position in which the keyboard is withdrawn from the accommodation portion,
- wherein in the storage position, the keyboard is positioned partially outside the accommodation portion and inside an outermost surface of the printing portion.
An image forming device comprising:
- a printing portion to print an image on a print medium, the printing portion comprising an upper surface including a discharge tray on which the print medium that has undergone printing is to be loaded;
- a protruding portion protruding upward from the upper surface of the printing portion and located on one side of the discharge tray, the protruding portion comprising a first part with a front surface stepped inward along a first direction from a front surface of the printing portion and a second part, wherein an accommodation portion recessed from the front surface of the first part of the protruding portion is formed between the first part and the second part;
- and
- a keyboard movable between a storage position inserted into the accommodation portion in the first direction and a withdrawal position withdrawn from the accommodation portion,
- wherein the accommodation portion has a first depth in the first direction and a first length in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction,
- wherein the keyboard has a second depth in the first direction and a second length in the second direction,
- wherein the second length or the second depth is respectively greater than the first length or the first depth, and
- wherein, in the storage position, the keyboard is positioned inside an outermost surface of the printing portion.
An image forming device comprising:
- a main body including a recess in a front surface of the main body forming an accommodation portion;
- and
- a keyboard movable between a storage position in which the keyboard is partially stored in the accommodation portion and a withdrawal position in which the keyboard is withdrawn from the accommodation portion,
- wherein, in the storage position, a front end of the keyboard with respect to the front surface of the main body and an outer end of the keyboard adjacent to the front end of the keyboard are positioned outside the accommodation portion and inside front and side surfaces of the main body of the image forming device.
