An image processor, including a housing having a transparent plate disposed on the upper surface thereof, and a swing frame pivotally mounted on the housing. In the swing frame is disposed a document conveyer which includes document suppressing rollers. In a state where the swing frame is brought to the closed position, the document suppressing rollers extend over the transparent plate, maintaining a space relative thereto in the direction of width of the transparent plate. A first shaft member is mounted on the swing frame, a pair of support brackets are rotatably mounted on the first shaft member separated by a distance in the axial direction, a second shaft member is mounted on the pair of support brackets to extend in the direction of width of the transparent plate in a state where the swing frame is brought to the closed position, and the document suppressing rollers are mounted on the second shaft member. First position restriction devices are disposed in relation to the pair of support brackets and are brought into contact with the upper surface of the transparent plate so as to restrict the space between the transparent plate and the document suppressing rollers.

Facsimile machine

A paper feeding device for a paper cassette of an image processing apparatus. The paper cassette is mounted at a specific position or the image processing apparatus in a manner permitting the cassette to be pulled out. A preliminary feed roller feeds the paper on the paper cassette toward a feed roller which is normally energized in a paper pressing direction. When the paper cassette is mounted in the image processing apparatus, the document setting board disposed in the paper cassette is upwardly turned by a pressing mechanism. When the paper cassette is pulled out, the feed roller from the paper cassette is turned in reverse direction. A feed channel to guide the paper from the paper cassette is formed in a curved manner, and a normally turned delivery roller is provided inside the curved channel.

Paper feeding device

An image processing machine functions both as a facsimile machine and as an ordinary copying machine. The image processing machine is provided with a document scanning system and image-forming system. The document scanning system comprises a first scanning zone, a second scanning zone an image-receiving system, an optical system for optically connecting the first scanning zone and the second scanning zone to the image-receiving system, a first document scan moving system for moving a document across the first scanning zone and a second document scan moving system for moving a document across the second scanning zone. The image-forming system comprises printing system with a print output zone and a system for conveying a printing substrate through the printing output zone. An ink ribbon cartridge in the image forming system has a detector for detecting a broken ink ribbon.

Image processing machine

A paper feeding device having a document tray attached to a specified position of an image processing apparatus, a paper cassette mounted onto a specific position in the image processing apparatus in a manner that can be pulled out, and a preliminary feed roller to carry the paper set on the document tray toward a feed roller which is normally energized in paper pressing direction. When a sheet of paper is inserted, the preliminary feed roller is moved in the opposite direction against the energizing force under a balanced condition in transversal direction by a guide member which is turned upward. When the paper cassette is mounted in the image processing apparatus, the document setting board disposed in the paper cassette is upwardly turned by a pressing mechanism. When the paper cassette is pulled out, the feed roller to feed out paper from the paper cassette is turned in reversed direction. A feed channel to guide the paper from the paper cassette is formed in a curved manner, and a normally turned delivery roller is provided inside the curved channel.
