Abstract
An image recording device is equipped with both facsimile functions and copier functions. The image recording device is provided with an image scanning part that transports a document from a document sheet supply tray, scans an image on the document and discharges the document onto a document sheet outlet tray. The image recording device is also provided with a recording part that transports a recording sheet from a cassette unit, records an image on it and discharges the recording sheet on a recorded paper discharge tray. The recorded paper discharge tray is positioned at the uppermost part of the device. Below the recorded paper discharge tray, arranged are the document sheet supply tray, document sheet outlet tray, multi-purpose tray and the cassette unit. All the trays are confined within the width of the device. In other words, no trays project from the side of the device. The recorded paper in the recorded paper discharge tray is easily confirmed since the recorded paper discharge tray is at the top of the device.
