Abstract
To provide a device which can easily copy an image within a limited area of an original. A reading window is defined in a lower projecting portion of a housing which is L-shaped in side elevation, providing a visual recognition member. The visual recognition member allows the user to visually recognize the image to be copied over which the housing is placed. When a start button is depressed, a sensor is reciprocally moved by a wire. An image read by the sensor is printed on a tape by a print head. The printed head tape is fed by a tape feed roller operatively coupled by a gear train to a motor which also drives the wire through a gear train.
