An image producing apparatus having a function to display information concerning documentation control, comprises display units in paper stack along with display units in a main body of the apparatus. The display unit placed nearby the paper stack displays information concerning documentation control of the paper discharged into the paper stack, and display unit in the main body displays information concerning documentation control of the image data stored in a memory. The apparatus has the capabilities of changing the displayed contents easily without replacing the labels and of confirming the situation of outputted images. Furthermore, the document data can be controlled based on operations in an operation unit of the main body of the apparatus.

An image reading apparatus comprises a vertical type paper feed unit which feed paper into a printing unit, and a discharge unit which contains the paper discharged from the printing unit. The paper feed unit and the discharged unit are arranged in a vertical direction to the printing unit, which will allow the floor surface projection area to be reduced. Further, the paper is conveyed into one of discharge trays in accordance with its paper size. Thereby, the larger size paper is discharged underside the smaller size paper, accordingly, it does not occur for the paper discharged to the upper discharge tray to shield the paper on the lower stage discharge tray from the visual angle. Also, the confirmation of paper discharge and taking out can be easily carried out irrespective of the paper size.

An image producing apparatus comprises a paper passage route which conveys paper selectively from a manual paper-feed unit and a paper feed unit, and conveys paper discharged from a print unit, and an image reading unit which reads out images of a document conveyed in the paper passage route. In a usual state, printed output is produced on the paper contained in the paper feed unit of a body, and the manual paper-feed unit is kept vacant, then, there is no need to take out the paper in the case of loading the document to be read out in the manual paper-feed tray. Moreover, the apparatus does not have a paper feed tray, a discharge tray and a paper passage route used only for image reading, which can decrease manufacturing costs, and besides, makes it possible to take up less installation space.

An image producing apparatus comprises a table which is provided over the upper surface of a top plate in a body thereof for placing an external device. Besides, the apparatus also comprises a connector unit which is located adjacent to the table for connection to the external device. Thus, the connection of the external device will be simplified, and besides, the external device can be operated with ease when the external device is connected to the apparatus. Furthermore, the apparatus is provided with a stationary swiveling mechanism, so that a user can easily turn a side of the body, where a sheet of paper is jammed, to the front.
