PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the operation burden for separating an original and a recording medium from each other and to prevent the original from being stained by toner or ink by providing a common carrying means for carrying the original and the recording medium and separately ejecting the read original and the recording medium where an image is formed. SOLUTION: The read original or the recording paper loaded in a paper feed port 101 is fed by a paper feeding roller 102 and carried to a carrying path 120 by a carrying roller 103 in an LPB main body 100. After performing reading an image or printing, the original or the recording paper is carried by a carrying roller 106 and ejected to either a facedown paper ejection port 109 or a faceup paper ejection port 108 switched by a paper ejection port switching device 107. Therefore, the original and the printed recording paper are sorted and ejected, so that the sorting operation burden of a user is drastically reduced and the original is surely prevented from being stained by developing material such as toner or ink stuck to the recording paper. |
