• a discharge roller provided to the printer and configured to rotate in a forward direction to discharge a sheet toward the sheet discharge tray and rotate in a reverse direction opposite to the forward direction;
• and
• a pivot member provided to the printer and configured to pivot between an open position and a closed position relative to the printer, the pivot member being configured to, at the closed position, define part of a re-conveying path, along which a sheet is conveyed by the discharge roller rotating in the reverse direction, wherein at least part of the pivot member located at the closed position is offset from the scanner located at the closed position when viewed from above the scanner.
