The reading unit and the recording unit are disposed in upper and lower positions, respectively, and positioned relatively to each other such that the first and second directions extend across each other. The information reading and recording apparatus has a lower cover and an upper cover openably and closably supported on the lower cover, the recording unit being housed in the lower cover and the reading unit being housed in the upper cover.
