Abstract: In order to reduce a space required to install a facsimile apparatus and to facilitate the change of recording sheet, a recording sheet discharge tray forms a part of a body of the apparatus so that outward projection of the discharge tray from the apparatus body is prevented. Since a document cover serves as a tray for receiving discharged document and a document sheet supply tray is disposed on it, the projection of the document sheet supply tray from the apparatus body can be prevented. Since the recording sheet cassette can be drawn out from a front side of the apparatus body, the operation of supplying or adding the cut sheets can be performed from the front side of the apparatus body, and therefore a user need not move to the side portion of the apparatus body. Since one line sensor of an image reading portion can read both a document placed on an image reading surface and a document from the document sheet supply tray, the structure of the apparatus can be simplified.
