An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a reading unit for reading an original document mounted thereon by moving a scanning optical system in an original document scanning direction;
- and
- an image forming unit arranged below said reading unit for forming an image on a recording medium corresponding to image information obtained by said reading unit reading the original document,
- wherein said image forming unit is arranged in a first space at one side in the original document scanning direction of said reading unit and an electrical board is vertically disposed in a second space opposite the first space below said reading unit in a crossing direction to the original document scanning direction.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an original document reading unit having an image scanning section, for optically reading images of an original document by moving the image scanning section in a longitudinal direction;
- an image forming unit which conveys a recording medium in a direction intersecting to the longitudinal direction of the image scanning section and makes a recording corresponding to image information read by said original document reading unit;
- and
- an arranging board for processing the image information from said original document reading unit or for controlling said original document reading unit and said image forming unit,
- wherein said image forming unit is arranged below said original document reading unit and is arranged to one side of said original document reading unit in the longitudinal direction, and wherein said arranging board is arranged below said original document reading unit and is arranged to the other side of said original document reading unit in the longitudinal direction, which is adjacent to said image forming unit.
