In this facsimile machine, when it is carried or installed on a wall, the main body and the power supply unit are slidably attached, both are locked by pawls, and the power supply unit is detachable or movable, thereby making the whole thin and compact. Can be 2 and 3 are side sectional configuration diagrams of a conventional facsimile apparatus. The difference between the configurations of FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 is only the presence or absence of a cutter. In FIG. 2, at the time of reading an original for facsimile transmission, the originals set on the facsimile main body 1 are separated and fed one by one by the original separation pad 2 and the original separation roller 3, and are conveyed. The image information of the original is read and then discharged. On the other hand, when writing recording paper for facsimile reception, the thermal recording paper 5 wound in a roll is used to write image information with the thermal head 6 and the platen roller 7, and the cutter 8 cuts the recording paper to the image information size. The paper is ejected to the outside of the device. In the case of no cutter as shown in FIG. 3, the user cuts the recording paper at an arbitrary position by the sharp corner portion of the exterior. By the way, when the conventional horizontal type facsimile apparatus is used for carrying or for hanging on a wall, the recording paper is discharged onto the upper surface of the main body and the operation unit is hidden by the recording paper, which makes it difficult to operate.
Further, when the cutter portion was not provided, the user could not handle the recording paper badly and could not cut it at an arbitrary position. Further, even if the cutter unit is built in, a plurality of discharged recording papers sometimes fall onto the ground and cannot be collected. In particular, when used for hanging on a wall, the original table and the recording tray cannot be used, which is inconvenient.

However, in terms of operability on wall installation, there are problems in the operation angle of the operation port, document setting, recording paper exchange, recording paper ejection, and the like. In particular,
If the recording paper (roll paper) is ejected from the rear side of the device, the recording paper will hang down on the upper face of the device (front face in the case of wall installation), and the operability will decrease. It was getting extremely bad. Therefore, if the transport layout is designed to be mounted on the wall, the recording paper will be discharged from the front of the normal device, and the transport layout of the facsimile paper will be greatly restricted. There was a problem that it became larger depending on the layout. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve these conventional problems and to provide a wall-mounted facsimile apparatus which has good operability without being affected by the transportation layout of the equipment. Another object of the present invention is to provide a wall bracket for a facsimile machine in which the recording and the handling of the recording paper are improved even in the case of an apparatus having no recording paper cutter. Another object of the present invention is to provide a wall bracket for a facsimile machine in which recording paper stackability is improved in the case of a device with a recording paper cutter. Further, another object of the present invention is to provide a wall bracket for a facsimile machine that can provide other functions to a user environment that is not used.
