A bracket that rotatably supports a shaft provided along the axis of a back roller for feeding and thereby transporting a document pinched between the back roller and a close-contact-type image sensor elastically supported on a cabinet and that is fitted to the cabinet so as to be rotatable about the shaft is formed integrally with a release lever for releasing the back roller and the close-contact-type image sensor from a state in which they are pressed against each other.

Bracket equipped with a paper releaser mechanism

A facsimile provided with a easily detachable scanner disclosed. When a button provided in a panel of a facsimile body F is pushed, lower a right end R of a release lever is depressed, and the release lever is turned on a pivot C to raise its left end L, thereby boosting a bottom of the scanner S. In consequence thereof, the scanner S is ached from the facsimile body F.

Facsimile

Disclosed is an image data transmission apparatus which includes an image reading unit for reading the original image, and a transmission apparatus main body. The main body includes a memory for storing the image data read by the image reading unit and transmits the content of the memory. The image reading unit is detachably mounted on the transmission apparatus main body. The transmission apparatus main body is further provided with a conveying device for conveying the original in a state in which the image reading unit is mounted on the transmission apparatus main body to thereby read the original. The image reading unit may also scan the original to read an original image, in a state in which the image reading unit is dismounted from the transmission apparatus main body. Further, a sheet element made of a material of a low coefficient of friction, as opposed to the original, may be disposed at a position corresponding to the mounted state of the image reading unit on the transmission apparatus main body. Further, an image data transmission apparatus is disclosed which possesses the telephone function and copy function, and is also provided with, as desired, a facsimile function by mounting a detachable facsimile processing device in the transmission apparatus main body. Further, the operation panel may be, in order to use it as the original stacker, disposed angularly dislocatably around the axial line crossing with the original inserting direction.

An image data transmission apparatus, which may be used as a facsimile apparatus, includes an image data reader which is detachably connected to the main body. The reader can read image data from an original fed past the reader, or it can be detached and used to scan an original. A device exists within the apparatus, which detects the mounting or unmounting of the reader, and if it is detected to be unmounted and not being used, power will be shut off. Further, a device exists, within the apparatus, which, when the reader is detected as mounted, will print read data. Also, when the reader is detected as unmounted, read data will be stored in memory. Thus, a speedy and power efficient image data transmission apparatus has been created.
