Abstract: With a small and simple constitution, a three-dimensional subject and a sheet document can be imaged. There are provided an image forming unit (110) for forming an image, an top face sheet ejecting unit (130) for ejecting a paper sheet (P) onto the top face of the device body (101), a top face ejected sheet tray (150) capable of receiving an ejected paper sheet (P) and openable/closable with respect to the device body (101), a platen glass (160) on which a subject is placed, a two-dimensional sensor (170) provided to the top face ejected sheet tray (150) to image the subject placed on the platen glass (160), and a manual feed unit (210) for transporting sheet originals (S) one by one and passing an original through an original information read section. The two-dimensional sensor (170) is so provided that the image of the sheet original appearing in the original information read section is formed on the partial area of the imaging area (170a).

Abstract: A printing apparatus having almost the same scale and function as printing apparatuses the usable maximum paper size of which is equivalent to A-4 size can print an image on a paper the size of which is larger than A-4 as necessary. A printing mechanism section (101) and a paper feed mechanism section (180) print an image according to printing data on one side of a paper which can be an expansion printing paper folded once or more times and developable after printing. The paper feed mechanism section (180) reverses a paper and feeds the reversed paper to the printing mechanism section (101). By using a printing mode selecting function of a printer driver (410), a predetermined printing mode is selected from printing modes in which the image is printed in different printing forms on the paper.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus with three-dimensional object imaging capability is provided that is compact, has a small footprint, and is easy to use. This apparatus has a top-surface paper ejection unit (130) that ejects paper P on which an image has been formed by an image forming unit (110) onto the top surface of the apparatus body (101); a top-surface paper ejection tray (150) that can be opened and closed with respect to the apparatus body (101) and receives paper P ejected by the top-surface paper ejection unit (130); an object placement platform (160) whose object placement surface (161), on which an object is placed, is exposed by opening the top-surface paper ejection tray (150); and a two-dimensional sensor (170) for imaging an object placed on the object placement platform (160). The apparatus has a configuration in which the top-surface paper ejection tray (150), when open, serves as a support for the imaging section.
