A document transport apparatus has a box-shaped housing, or case, having first and second openings provided in a sidewall of the case, a hopper in a first drawer movable into and out of the case through the first opening, and a stacker part in a second drawer movable in and out of the case through the second opening. A transport mechanism transports a document sheet, in the closed position of the first drawer, from the hopper part, past an image reader/printer, for reading data from or printing data onto the transported sheet, to the stacker part, again with the second drawer being closed.
