A scanner with a foldable stand includes a housing, a first output tray fodably covered to an upper portion of a rear of the housing, a second output tray foldably covered to a top of the housing, a supporting stand and an abutting element. Two ends of the first output tray have a starting end, and a swingable connecting end connected to the starting end. An outer surface of the first output tray is recessed inward to form a holding groove. Two ends of the second output tray have a pivot end pivotally connected to the connecting end, and a swingable terminal end connected with a free end of the pivot end. The supporting stand is foldably fastened in the holding groove. The abutting element is formed at a middle of the connecting end. The abutting element contacts with an inner portion of the supporting stand.

Disclosed is a magnification device for use by blind and/or low vision individuals. The device includes an X-Y table upon which an item to be magnified can be placed. A stationary camera arm and a pivotal monitor arm are oriented over the X-Y table. The monitor arm includes a video monitor pivotally mounted at its distal end. The camera arm also includes two laterally disposed lighting arms. A series of controls are provided along a lower edge of the monitor via a mounting bracket.

A sheet conveying device includes a conveyor, a first cover and a second cover movable in conjunction with the first cover. The second cover includes a restricted portion configured to be moved together with the second cover. The first cover includes a restricting portion configured to contact the restricted portion to prevent the second cover from being moved from a first position toward a second position when the first cover is located at a closed position. The restricting portion and the restricted portion are contacted to each other at a contact position at which a force, which is applied from the restricted portion toward the restricting portion when the second cover receives an external force, does not include a component force acting in a direction of moving the first cover from the closed position toward an opened position.

The present disclosure includes a base unit, an opening/closing unit configured to be opened and closed with respect to the base unit, a medium setting portion that is disposed on a front surface side of the base unit, and on which a medium is placed, a transport path that is configured to be established in a state in which the opening/closing unit is closed with respect to the base unit, and through which the medium is transported in a transport direction, a reading unit disposed along the transport path, and configured to read the medium, and a display panel provided at the base unit, and configured to display information. The display panel is attached to the front surface side of the base unit and overlaps the opening/closing unit in a closed state in a width direction of the transport path in front view.

An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus body accommodating an image forming unit, an image reading unit disposed above the apparatus body and including an opening/closing member, and a sheet discharge unit disposed above the apparatus body and including a discharge tray configured to support a discharged sheet. The discharge tray is disposed above the opening/closing member, movable to a first position and to a second position above the first position, and configured to move from the first position to the second position when the opening/closing member is moved from the closed position to the open position.

An image reading device includes a conveyance unit configured to convey a carrier sheet and a reading object, a reading unit configured to read an image of the reading object, a display unit configured to receive an input of information about whether the reading object is conveyed using the carrier sheet, and a control unit configured to determine whether the reading object is being conveyed using the carrier sheet. The control unit performs predetermined processing on the image read by the reading unit when it is determined that the reading object is being conveyed using the carrier sheet. The control unit does not perform the predetermined processing on the image read by the reading unit when it is determined that the reading object is being conveyed without using the carrier sheet.

A medium transport apparatus includes a main body that is switchable between a first posture and a second posture and a rotatable route-forming member that forms an exterior of a turning route. The route-forming member couples a first transport route to a second transport route when the main body has the first posture and couples the first transport route to a third transport route when the main body has the second posture. The medium transport apparatus further includes a transport route switching section having a switching member that engages with both the body support and the route-forming member. In response to switching between the first posture and the second posture of the main body, engagement of the switching member with the main-body support changes to rotate the route-forming member and to switch the medium transport route to which the first transport route is coupled.

A scanner with the automatic expanding output tray includes a mechanical body, a first output tray, a second output tray, an extending output tray, an extending torsion spring, a limiting element and a unidirectional actuator. The first output tray has a starting end pivotally connected to a rear of the mechanical body, and a connecting end. The second output tray has a pivoting end pivoted at the connecting end, and a terminal end. The extending output tray is pivotally connected to the second output tray. The extending torsion spring is mounted between the extending output tray and the second output tray. The limiting element is pivotally connected to the second output tray. The unidirectional actuator is mounted between the limiting element and the first output tray.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming part, a discharge tray, a reading part, a biasing support part, and a turning regulating part. The discharge tray is disposed above the image forming part. The reading part is turnably supported on an upper portion of the image forming part between a closed position and an opened position. The biasing support part biases the reading part from the closed position toward the opened position. The turning regulating part is engaged with the reading part disposed at the closed position and regulates a turning of the reading part, which is applied with a biasing force of the biasing support part, toward the opened position. When the medium is discharged from the image forming part to the discharge tray, the turning regulating part is disengaged with the reading part, and allows the turning of the reading part toward the opened position.

An image apparatus includes an image former configured to form an image on a sheet, a discharge tray with a stacking area where a sheet on which the image has been formed is to be stacked, an operation device, an image reading apparatus configured to read an image, a first support portion configured to support the image reading apparatus, and a second support portion configured to support the image reading apparatus, wherein, in a vertical direction, the image reading apparatus is supported above the discharge tray, the first support portion is arranged at one side of the discharge tray in a direction perpendicular to both the vertical direction and a discharge direction in which the sheet is discharged onto the discharge tray, the second support portion is arranged at the other side of the discharge tray.
