Image-forming apparatus

摘要

In an image-forming apparatus of the present invention, below a document reading section (100), an image-forming section (200) is placed, and a first paper-discharge section (234) for discharging a sheet of paper bearing an image formed in the image-forming section (200) is installed. Between the document reading section (234) and the first paper-discharge section, a post-treatment device (300), which carries out post-treatments such as an adjusting process and a stapling process for sheets of paper subjected to the image-forming process is a virtually horizontal state, is installed. In such an image-forming apparatus having the discharging means on the installation plane of the apparatus, it is possible to provide an image-forming apparatus which can effectively utilize the discharging means, even in the case when the post-treatment device is attached, and can also minimize the installation area of the entire apparatus.
