A first hinge connects a scanner to a printer, which is below the scanner, to allow the scanner to pivot about a first axis extending along a first direction. The first hinge includes a first support portion supported by the scanner, a second support portion supported by the printer, and a first pivot portion defining the first axis. A housing of the scanner includes a side surface near the first axis and extending along the first direction and along a second direction perpendicular to a document support surface of the scanner, and an accommodating portion recessed in a third direction which is from the side surface toward the scanning unit. The first support portion includes a first end portion at which the first pivot portion is located, and a second end portion which includes an accommodated portion. The accommodated portion is accommodated in the accommodating portion of the housing. |
