A prop is extending from the printer unit upwards. A rear end portion of an upper casing is coupled with an upper portion of the prop pivotably in a vertical direction. A transparent platen is provided on a top face of the upper casing. An image capturer is provided in the upper casing and operable to capture an image on an original disposed on the platen and to output image data. A projection is provided on a bottom face of the upper casing and is extending in a front-rear direction of the upper casing. The projection has a rear end face adapted to be supported by the prop when the upper casing is placed in a first position causing the platen to extend horizontally. The rear end face extends obliquely in a forward-downward direction.
