Abstract
An image processing apparatus in which the respective functional sections in the apparatus are clearly separated and constituted as units, thereby raising the productivity, and at the same time the maintenance for the reading optical system and for the jam processing of the sheets and the like can be easily performed. The enclosing space for the recording sheets discharged is built inside the casing, and the original base is also used as the cover for the recording system unit, thereby realizing a small and thin sized apparatus. Further, the heat generated from the power source unit and recording head can be easily radiated.
Claims18
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a recording system unit for recording;
- an enclosing member for enclosing recording material and a recording head for recording on the recording material, said enclosing member and said recording head being arranged in said recording system unit;
- a placing section for placing an original thereon;
- an original feeding system unit, arranged on a downstream side of said placing section in a direction in which the original is fed, for feeding the original;
- and
- a reading optical system unit, arranged below said original feeding system unit, for reading image information from the original,
- wherein said placing section is arranged over at least said enclosing member and horizontally receives the original thereon and wherein said placing section can be freely opened and closed independently of said original feeding system unit and said reading optical system unit.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a recording system unit for recording;
- an enclosing member for enclosing recording material and a recording head for recording on the recording material, said enclosing member and said recording head being arranged in said recording system unit;
- a placing section for placing an original thereon;
- an original feeding system unit, arranged on a donwstream side of said placing section in a direction in which the original is fed, for feeding the original;
- and
- a reading optical system unit, arranged below said original feeding system unit, for reading image information from the original,
- wherein said placing section is arranged over at least said enclosing member and horizontally receives the original thereon and wherein said placing section can be freely opened and closed independently of said original feeding system unit and said reading optical system unit, and
- wherein said recording system further comprises a roller for pulling out the recording material from said enclosing member and carrying it, wherein said placing section covers said enclosing member and said roller, and said recording head is arranged under said placing section at a position facing said roller to record on the recording material.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a supporting member supporting a recording system unit, an original feeding system unit and a reading optical system unit for image processing;
- a wiring unit arranged close to a lower surface of said supporting member and formed so that a width dimension thereof is wider than said lower surface of said supporting member;
- a first part arranged close to a side of a bottom surface of said supporting member on said wiring unit;
- and
- a second part arranged close to a side of a side surface of said supporting member on said wiring unit and formed so that a height dimension thereof is higher than said first part.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- recording means for recording an image on recording material;
- enclosing means for enclosing the recording material;
- a covering member for covering the recording material set in said enclosing means;
- and
- reading means for reading an original placed on said covering member, wherein said covering member is adapted to be freely opened and shut independently of the reading means and is used further as an original placing member for placing the original thereon.
