Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a printer unit that forms an image on a recording sheet; an operation panel for operating and/or setting the printer unit, a side on which the operation panel is provided is defined as a front side; and an ejection space on which the recording sheet ejected from the printer unit is placed. As viewed from the front side, a radius curvature of a first portion that intermediates a right side plane of the printer unit and a front plane of the printer unit is larger than a radius curvature of a second portion that intermediates a left side plane of the printer unit and the front plane of the printer unit.

Abstract: When a guide lever is in a toner open position, a space is formed between an upper surface of the guide lever and a lower surface of a flat bed unit as a part of a transport path of a paper. Therefore, the paper is turned forward around in a generally U-shape in the transport path, and passes over a toner cartridge, then is ejected to an ejection tray. So the transport path can be increased in radius of curvature at the U-turn point thereof, and whereby a reliable feed of the paper with a reduced risk of paper jam can be achieved. Further, since a scanning unit is disposed below and adjacent to a process cartridge and the ejection tray so that it can overlap with the process cartridge and the ejection tray, and is disposed adjacent to a feed tray so that it can overlap upwardly with the feed tray, reduction in size of a laser printer can be achieved.

Abstract: A printer with a photo stand is constructed by which the photo stand is attached to the tape printer so as to cover a left side surface of a housing of the tape printer. In the printer with the photo stand, the tape printer is inclined with respect to an installed plane. With this structure, a photograph held in the photo stand is oriented toward a direction that a picture side of the photograph can be easily seen. A protrusion is provided to a lower surface of a cover of the tape printer, so that the printer with the photo stand can be prevented from falling in an inclined direction of the tape printer. The photo stand can be attached to the tape printer to form a single-piece unit, so that the printer with the photo stand saves space while displaying the photograph.
