An operation panel () arranged in an image forming apparatus () of the present invention is provided so as to be movable between at least two side faces () of a housing () of the image forming apparatus () and is arranged flush with the side face ().

Operation panel and image forming apparatus including this

Provided is an image-forming device with which it is possible to achieve a smaller size while suppressing a reduction in visibility or operability of an operation panel. In this image-forming device, paper sheets are discharged from the rear side of the device toward the front side of the device, and the image formation device is provided with: a paper-sheet-loading unit in which the paper sheets are loaded; an operation panel disposed on the downstream-side end in the paper sheet discharge direction of the paper-sheet-loading unit, at least a part of the operation panel being disposed in a loading region of the paper-sheet-loading unit; and a protruding part disposed to the side of the operation panel in the loading region, the protruding part protruding upward from the top surface of the paper-sheet-loading unit, and extending in the paper sheet discharge direction.

Image forming apparatus

An electronic apparatus has an apparatus main body, a display panel, and an operation mechanism. The apparatus main body has a first side surface, and second and third side surfaces arranged next to the first side surface so as to sandwich it. The second and third side surfaces are arranged opposite each other. The display panel is provided in the first side surface, and is swingable in the horizontal direction. The operation mechanism is provided in the apparatus main body, is exposed at least through the second side surface, and swings the display panel. By operating the operation mechanism from the second side surface side, the display panel swings to point toward the second side surface, and a third side surface-side part of the display penal protrudes outward beyond the first side surface.

Electronic apparatus with a horizontally swingable display panel

An electric apparatus includes a power cord having first and second plug portions, and a cord portion, a plug insertion recessed portion, and a cord housing groove. The plug insertion recessed portion has an insertion surface that is formed at a position recessed inward from a side surface, and to which an inlet is attached, a first slope extending from a lower end part of the insertion surface, and a second slope extending from an upper end part of the insertion surface. In a state where the first plug part has been inserted in the inlet, a distance a from a lower end part of the first plug portion to the lower edge of the plug insertion recessed portion and a distance b from an upper end part of the first plug portion to the upper edge of the plug insertion recessed portion satisfy a relationship of a&#x3e;b.

Electric apparatus

A sheet feeding cassette includes a storage region, a front portion, and a bottom portion. On the storage region, a sheet is stored. The front portion is disposed on a downstream side with respect to the storage region in a drawing direction. On the bottom portion, the sheet is placed. In the front portion, an opening is formed through which the storage region is visible. Within the storage region, the bottom portion is formed in white or a pale color. At least a part of the visible region in the storage region is formed to be different in lightness by three or more in Munsell value from a light-color part of the bottom portion, the light-color part being formed in white or the pale color.

Sheet feeding cassette and image forming apparatus including the same

A sheet feeding cassette according to the present disclosure includes a storing region and a front surface portion. The storing region stores a sheet. The front surface portion is disposed on a downstream side of the storing region in a drawing direction and composes a portion of an outer surface of an image forming apparatus. The one side portion and other side portion of the front surface portion in a left-right direction are respectively provided with a first opening portion and a second opening portion where the storing region can be visually checked.

An image forming machine includes a host computer, a printer, a copying machine, and a document supply device for conveying a document printed by the printer to an automatic document feeder of the copying machine. The host computer and a control device provided in the printer are connected together via a parallel data transfer type interface, while the host computer and control device provided in the copying machine are connected together via a serial data transfer type interface. Thus independent data are transferred from the host computer to the control device of the printer and the control device of the copying machine.

Image forming machine including a host computer, a printer, a copying

An image forming machine including a host computer, a printer, a copying machine, and a document supply device for conveying a document printed by the printer to a document stand of an automatic document feeder of the copying machine is disclosed, the image forming machine including a first document conveying device for directly conveying the document printed by the printer to the automatic document feeder, and second document conveying device which has an intermediate tray for temporarily storing the document printed by the printer for conveying this document to the automatic document feeder after temporarily storing it in the intermediate tray.

Apparatus comprising a combination of a host computer, a printer, a copy

A developer agitating/conveying device having at least one partition wall disposed within a housing with a developer transfer port at the central portion thereof; a first agitating/conveying member disposed along the partition wall on one side of the partition wall for conveying the developer from the opposite end portions toward the central portion thereof, the first agitating/conveying member having a first helical blade and a second helical blade; and a second agitating/conveying member disposed along the partition wall on the other side of the partition wall for conveying the developer from the central portion toward the opposite end portions thereof, the second agitating/conveying member having a first helical blade and a second helical blade. The first and second helical blades provided on the first agitating/conveying member for helically wound in directions opposite to each other and are constructed such that their respective inner end half pitches overlap with a phase angle of 180 degrees relative to each other so as not to intersect each other.
