1. A multi-function device, comprising:
a housing; an image forming unit accommodated in the housing and configured to form an image on a printing sheet; an image scanning unit arranged above the housing and configured to scan an image on an original sheet, the image scanning unit having right and left side walls, wherein the housing comprises:
a frame supporting the image forming unit, the image scanning unit being secured to the frame; andan outer cover attached to an outside of the frame to form right and left side walls of the housing, wherein right and left continuous surfaces extending in an up-and-down direction are formed by at least part of the right and left side walls of the image scanning unit and at least part of the right and left side walls of the housing, respectively, and wherein right and left first grip portions are formed on the right and left continuous surfaces so as to be recessed therefrom, respectively, and comprise:
right and left grip recesses, respectively, extending inwardly from lower ends of the right and left side walls of the image scanning unit to define downwardly facing right and left first grip faces extending inwardly into the image scanning unit and sidewalls extending upwardly from a lower surface of the image scanning unit; andright and left recessed portions, respectively, extending inwardly from upper ends of the right and left side walls of the outer cover to define upwardly facing bottoms extending inwardly into the outer cover and sidewalls extending downwardly from an upper surface of the outer cover such that the right and left recessed portions face the right and left grip recesses and the right and left first grip faces, wherein when the grip portions are gripped, a weight of the image forming unit is loaded to the first grip faces by the frame. |
