A driving device includes: a frame disposed in the driving device to support a driven unit driven by the driving device, the frame including a first portion, a distance from which to an outer wall of an accommodation device that accommodates the driving device is shorter, and a second portion, a distance from which to the outer wall is longer than the distance from the first portion to the outer wall; and a driving unit disposed between the second portion and the outer wall, at least a part of the driving unit being away from the outer wall by the distance between the first portion and the outer wall or more.

A document reading device includes an imaging unit that images a document, a placing portion that includes a first placing portion and a second placing portion and that has a placing surface on which the document is placed, the placing surface being formed by the first placing portion and the second placing portion, and a detector that detects an edge of the document that is placed on the placing surface by using a color difference or a luminance difference between the placing surface and the document. An end portion of the first placing portion adjacent to the second placing portion extends toward the second placing portion beyond an end portion of the second placing portion adjacent to the first placing portion.

A sheet containing apparatus includes a first container unit that contains a sheet having a first size and that tilts with respect to a horizontal direction such that a first end and a second end in a width direction of the apparatus are located at different heights with the first container unit installed in a sheet containing apparatus body when viewed in a first direction, and a covering portion that is movable to a covering position at which the covering portion covers at least a part of the first container unit in the first direction and an open position at which the covering portion uncovers the first container unit in the first direction. When viewed in the first direction, a tilting division line is adjacent to the first container unit and tilts with respect to the horizontal direction, and at least a whole of the tilting division line is covered by the single covering portion in the first direction with the covering portion positioned at the covering position.
