Abstract: The present invention relates to a facsimile device utilizing an improved process unit for an electrophotographic image recording device. The process unit includes a development unit and a photosensitive (drum) unit. These two units can be integrally engaged with each other and the combined two units is as a whole removable from/attached to the facsimile device when maintenance is required due to jammed paper or the like. When one of the units is to be replaced with a new unit because of exhaustion or the like, the combined two units can be separated and subject to maintenance (replacement). In the present invention, this process unit is accommodated in a main body frame of a facsimile having an image recording part such that the unit can be removed from/attached to the main body frame in the vertical direction. A scan part frame having a continuous document scan part and a flat head bed scanner is rotatably mounted on the main body frame.
