It is an object of the invention to provide an image processing apparatus capable of separating and supplying originals and recording materials by one set of separating/supplying mechanism, and capable of inexpensively and reliably detecting the original irrespective of presence or absence of the recording material. To achieve the above object, a typical structure of an image processing apparatus of the present invention comprises original mounting means 85 for mounting originals, recording material mounting means 82 for mounting recording materials, a supply roller 81 for supplying the original or the recording material from the original mounting means 85 or the recording material mounting means 82, separating means 84 for separating the original or the recording material in cooperation with the supply roller 81, reading means 28 for reading an image of the original, recording means 1 for recording the image on the recording material, and an original detection sensor 92 for detecting the original on the original mounting means 85 , wherein the original mounting means 85 and the recording material mounting means 82 are disposed between the supply roller 81 and the separating means 84, references of the original mounting means 85 and the recording material mounting means 82 are one-sided references, a reference surface 85 a of the original mounting means 85 and a reference surface of the recording material mounting means 82 are located on opposite sides with respect to the apparatus, and the original detection sensor 92 is disposed in a region where the recording material is not mounted.
