Abstract
A complex recording apparatus includes a housing. A platen glass is provided at an upper portion of the housing, and an analog optical system which reads a copy original put on the platen glass is provided within the housing. Furthermore, above the housing, a platen cover which holds the copy original put on the platen glass and a digital optical system which reads a facsimile original supplied from an outside are independently provided. When a paper is manually inserted into a manual paper insertion port formed on a side surface of the housing, a paper sensor is turned-on. In receiving facsimile image data, if the paper sensor is turned-on, the facsimile image data is written in a RAM, and if the paper sensor is not turned-on, an image forming unit performs an image forming operation according to the facsimile image data read from the RAM.
