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.

An image scanner serving as an image reading device reads an image of an original by an image sensor. A first read mode in which an image of a stationary on a transparent platen is read by moving the image sensor and a second read mode in which an image of an original read by the image sensor when stationary. An original section is separated from the automatic original conveying section, and can be opened or closed by a small operating force. In the second read mode, an original set on an original tray mounted on an upper portion of the original pressing section is reversed in the automatic original conveying section and then, is discharged to a discharge stand on an upper surface of the original pressing section. The original tray is not projected toward the side of the image scanner.
