Abstract
An image processing device includes a housing with a sheet conveyor situated in the housing. An interlock mechanism includes a first engagement member extending from a second surface of a first cover; and a second engagement member extending from a second surface of a second cover. One of the first and second engagement members is engagable with the other of the first and second engagement members. When the first cover moves from a first position to a second position, the first and second engagement members engage to move one end portion of the second cover in response to a movement of the first engagement member away from the second cover, and when the first cover moves from the second position to the first position, the first engagement member engages the second engagement member to move the second cover to a first position.
