ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus is disclosed having a main body made of resin formed in a monocoque structure. The main body incorporates the functional components and is formed from separable upper and lower casings. The functional components of the apparatus are held by the casings. A document delivery device is located on the upper part of the upper casing. This delivery device includes a pair of delivery rollers for delivering a document along the top surface of the upper casing with the document held by and between the delivery rollers. The image forming apparatus further includes electrical connections which prevent the upper and lower casings from being separated from one another while electrical power is being supplied to the apparatus.
