Image reader

A cover, comprising:

• a conveyor configured to convey one or more documents one by one successively;
• a movable member configured to be movable between an open position where the movable member functions as a document tray and a closed position where the movable member constitutes a part of an upper surface of the cover by pivoting about a second axis,
• an operation portion configured to receive an input and disposed on an upper surface of the cover at a position in which the operation portion does not overlap with the movable member and conveyor in an up-down direction and is spaced apart from an edge of the cover that is on the opposite side of the operation portion than the conveyor;
• and
• wherein the second axis is disposed at one end of the movable member and the other end of the movable member is located in a position farther from the operation portion when the movable member is in the open position than when the movable member is in the closed position, and
• wherein the cover is configured to be movable between an uncovering position where the cover exposes a document mount surface of an image reader and a covering position where the cover covers the document mount surface by pivoting about a first axis.

A multifunction peripheral, comprising:

• an image formation unit configured to form an image on a sheet, wherein the image formation unit comprises:
• a sheet cassette configured to accommodate one or more sheets such that the longer sides of the one or more sheets extend parallel to an axial direction of a first axis;
• and
• a recording head configured to eject ink droplets toward a platen;
• a document mount surface configured such that a document is to be placed thereon;
• a conveyor configured to convey one or more documents one by one successively;
• a reading unit configured to read one of an image from a document placed on the document mount surface and an image from a document being conveyed by the conveyor;
• and
• a cover portion configured to be movable between an uncovering position where the cover portion exposes the document mount surface and a covering position where the cover portion covers the document mount surface by pivoting about the first axis,
• the cover portion comprising:
• the conveyor;
• an operation portion configured to receive an input;
• and
• a movable member configured to be movable between an open position where the movable member functions as a document tray and a closed position where the movable member constitutes a part of an upper surface of the cover portion by pivoting about a second axis,
• wherein the second axis is disposed at one end of the movable member and the other end of the movable member is located in a position farther from the operation portion when the movable member is in the open position than when the movable member is in the closed position, and
• wherein the operation portion is disposed on the upper surface of the cover portion at a position in which the operation portion does not overlap with the movable member and conveyor in an up-down direction and is spaced apart from an edge of the cover portion that is on the opposite side of the operation portion than the conveyor.
