Abstract
A fax/copy key () is positioned in the center of a cover () of a control panel (). When the cover () is closed, a plurality of one-touch speed dial keys () are arranged under the fax/copy key (). In other words, the fax/copy key () and the one-touch keys () are superposed. At a pivot of the cover () is positioned a cover sensor () to detect the open/close status of the cover (). When the fax/copy key () is depressed while the cover () is closed, several one-touch keys () are depressed via a plurality of protrusions () of the fax/copy key (). Because the cover () is closed, the depression of the one-touch keys () is interpreted as the depression of the fax/copy key (). This contributes to miniaturization of the operational input unit ().
