<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a driving source for driving an image reading portion, and electric connection with a circuit substrate for controlling the driving source in an image forming apparatus equipped with an image forming apparatus body and the image reading portion. <P>SOLUTION: The apparatus is mounted with a joint cover 61 on a printer body 1, It is further mounted with a scanner unit and a control panel unit on the joint enclosure 61. Since a main board 95 of the printer body 1, a relay substrate 95a of the joint enclosure 61 and a scanning motor 84a etc. for driving a scanner unit are all arranged on the same side (on the left-hand side of right and left directions, and on the backside of front and back directions ). The length of a harness for connecting these electrically and a routing lead can be shortened. While attaining the simplification of the configuration of the apparatuses, the scanning motor 84a, the relay substrate 95a, and the main device board 95 are secured in sure connection. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
