を同レベルとしている。On the other hand, at the upper part of one side of the housing of the apparatus main body A, there is an opening 17 through which the discharged paper 4 can pass, and the opening 17 extends across a direction intersecting the discharge direction of the paper 4 of the apparatus main body. An arch portion 18 is provided, and the arch portion 18 is provided with a display portion such as a liquid crystal panel and an operation portion 3 including various keyboards. Here, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the operation portion 3 is located above the portion of the discharge tray 2 on which the discharged recording members after copying are stacked and on the upstream side in the recording member discharging direction. As described above, it is provided so as to extend in the front-back direction of the apparatus main body. Also, the output tray 2
As shown in FIG. 2, one side portion (right side portion in the figure) is formed in a low inclined structure, and the operation portion 3 and the upper end of the paper discharge tray 2 are at the same level.

らである。In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize the downsizing of the device body and the improvement of the operability of the device. This is because, according to the present invention, the operation unit is provided over the portion of the discharge tray on which the discharged recording members after copying are stacked to realize the downsizing of the main body of the apparatus. Operation is performed by setting the opening direction (opening in the direction opposite to the recording member discharge direction) and the installation position of the operation part (upstream side with respect to the recording member discharge direction) to the front side of one side of the device body. This is because it is possible to improve the sex.
