Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the floor area for installation of a facsimile device, by controlling in interlocking with both an open/close member of an original slit and a guide which changes the discharge position of recording paper, and using an original board also to a paper discharge tray. CONSTITUTION:In a reception mode of a facsimile device, a recording paper guide 10 has a displacement to discharge the recording paper 51 through the 1st discharge slit 8 to stack the paper on an original board 3. At the same time, an open/close member 5 is displaced to its closing position to prevent the paper 51 from dropping into an original insertion slit 4. In a transmission mode and a copying mode, the left edge part 5b of the member 5 is pressed with an operation hand to open the member 5. The inserted original is discharged through an original discharge slit 22. In a copy mode the paper 51 is discharged through a discharge slit 9 under the control of the guide 10. Thus the floor area for installation of a facsimile device can be reduced by an amount equivalent to a paper discharge tray excluded.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Technical field The present invention relates to a facsimile machine.

BACKGROUND ART In conventional facsimile machines, the recording paper tray on which ejected recording paper is deposited juts out to the side, but since this recording paper tray is large, the floor space on which the facsimile machine is installed is correspondingly large. There were disadvantages such as an increase in area.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention includes a reading scanning mechanism -C which takes in a document on a document tray from a document insertion port, reads and conveys the document, an opening/closing control member provided in the document insertion port, and a device for placing a recording paper on the document. a recording paper guide that is movable between a first position in which the discharged recording paper is guided onto the document holder and a second position in which it is not guided; and a control means configured to switch and displace the recording paper guide and the opening/closing control member in conjunction with the first position and the closed position at times other than reading scanning, and the ejected recording paper is guided to the document holder. By guiding the recording paper upward and closing the insertion opening with an opening/closing control member to prevent the guided recording paper from undesirably entering the original insertion opening, the original tray can also be used as a paper ejection tray. This eliminates the need for a large paper ejection tray that juts out to the side, thereby reducing the installation floor space for the provided sorting device.
