A document scanner includes a casing and a document cover disposed above the casing. The casing includes a document glass and houses an image scanner. The document cover has one end portion and the other end portion opposite to the first end portion in a first direction and is configured to pivotally move about the one end portion between a closed position in which the other end portion covers the document glass and an open position in which the other end portion uncovers the document glass. The other end portion has an end surface that intersects, when the document cover is at the closed position, with an upper surface of the document glass. The end surface has an indication indicating a location to which an external device is to be brought into proximity to establish short-range wireless communication between the document scanner and the external device.

A portable terminal including a battery accommodating section having an opening for battery insertion and removal which is provided at a position shifted to one end of a terminal main body on a predetermined surface of the terminal main body, a battery cover for covering the opening, and a switch section provided closer to an other end of the terminal main body than the battery accommodating section, on the predetermined surface of the terminal main body, in which the battery cover is provided extending from the one end to a position beyond the switch section.

An image forming apparatus includes: an apparatus body having a receiving surface on which a document is placed and that is provided on a rear portion of an upper surface, the rear portion being positioned behind a front end of the upper surface; a reading unit provided on the rear portion such that the reading unit is openable and closable, the reading unit reading an image on the document while transporting the document; an inclined surface on which no operation unit is disposed, the inclined surface being continuously inclined downward from a front end of the rear portion to the front end of the upper surface; and a projecting portion provided on a front portion of the apparatus body at a position on a first side of the inclined surface in a left-right direction, the projecting portion projecting forward and upward with respect to the inclined surface.

A friction member that abuts against a rotating member being fixed to a display portion and that stops the rotating member being fixed to a display portion by frictional resistance of an abutting surface accommodates the rotating member into a predetermined accommodating position in a reliable manner by changing a frictional force of the friction member.

An image reading apparatus includes a first supporting portion, a sheet conveyance portion, an image reading portion, a second supporting portion, and an illumination portion. The image reading portion is configured to read an image of the sheet conveyed by the sheet conveyance portion. The second supporting portion is disposed below the first supporting portion and configured to support the sheet whose image has been read. The illumination portion is disposed further on an outside than a sheet supporting region of the second supporting portion in a width direction perpendicular to a sheet discharge direction, configured to illuminate the second supporting portion, and provided such that a light emission direction of the illumination portion is directed to the sheet supporting region.

Provided is an image forming apparatus including a charge processing section and an operation section that are brought closer in height to each other, thus improving the operability of a user. The image forming apparatus (100) includes a coin insertion processing section (110), an operation panel (120) and an electrophotography printer (130). The coin insertion processing section (110) is configured to accept money and then execute charge processing so as to permit image formation by the image forming apparatus (100). The operation panel (120) is configured to, when the coin insertion processing section (110) executes the charge processing, accept setting of image formation by the image forming apparatus (100). The electrophotography printer (130) is configured to form an image of the read image data based on setting at the operation panel (120). The coin insertion processing section (110) is disposed at a height equal to a height of the operation panel (120).

A document pressing unit is openable with respect to an apparatus body including a placement portion on which a document is placed, and is configured to press the document from above. The document pressing unit includes a body frame, a pair of hinge units, a pair of metal fixing members, and fastening screws. The body frame is able to press the document. The hinge units respectively include hinge legs mounted on the apparatus body, and are mounted with a certain distance in a left-right direction on a rear end of the body frame to openably support the body frame with respect to the apparatus body. The fixing members fix the hinge units to the body frame, respectively. The fastening screws fasten the fixing member and the hinge unit through the body frame so that the fixing member and the hinge unit sandwich the body frame in an up-down direction.
