A light-emitting device for use in an image forming apparatus includes an apparatus body; a door disposed on and openably closable relative to the apparatus body; a lens mounted on the door; a light-emitting element that lights up the lens with light; and a bracket disposed on the apparatus body, configured to support the light-emitting element. The bracket is slidable in a direction in which the light-emitting element emits light. In a state in which the door is closed relative to the apparatus body, the bracket contacts at least one of a part of the door and a part of the lens, further movement of the bracket in the slidable direction is obstructed, and the light-emitting element and the lens are positioned adjacent to each other.

An image forming apparatus includes a panel portion connected with a control portion of an apparatus body and being capable of executing at least one of functions of displaying information obtained from the control portion and of inputting information to the control portion, and an antenna capable of transmitting/receiving radio waves to/from a mobile terminal brought close to the antenna. The NFC substrate can make communication between the mobile terminal brought close to the antenna and the control portion by a near field communication system. The antenna is provided under and in a vicinity of the panel portion in a front view of the panel portion.

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 recording apparatus includes a lower unit and an upper unit, the upper unit includes an arm, the lower unit includes an opening that the arm enters and a cam groove in which a route on which a projection of the arm moves is formed, and the cam groove includes a first route on which the projection passes when the upper unit is opened from a closed state, a second route on which the projection passes when the upper unit is closed from the open state, a transition route on which the projection passes when the projection moves from the first route to the second route, and a third route for enabling the arm to be attached and detached.

An image forming apparatus includes a main body, a display operation part, a housing, an NFC circuit, a wireless LAN circuit, and a control part. The main body forms an image. The display operation part displays information and receives operation. The housing is coupled to a front surface of the main body and houses the display operation part. The NFC circuit performs NFC communication with a portable terminal. The wireless LAN circuit performs wireless LAN communication with the portable terminal. The control part transmits and receives data to and from the portable terminal via the wireless LAN circuit after establishing a connection with the portable terminal via the NFC circuit. The NFC circuit is housed in a left portion of the housing.

The printing device includes an operation section 15, an angle adjustment mechanism 60, a locking mechanism 70, and a raising mechanism 80. The locking mechanism 70 switches from the locked state to the unlocked state when a specific operation is performed on the operation section 15 in the locked state. The angle adjustment mechanism 60 is provided with the receiving member 63 provided in the operation section 15, and a contacting member 64 for holding the operation section 15 at an arbitrary angle by the raising mechanism 80 of the operation section 15. The receiving member 63 is provided with a portion where the contacting force of the contacting member 64 to the receiving member 63 becomes smaller than the predetermined force in the process that the operation section 15 is raised by the prescribed angle.
