ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a facsimile machine having a larger cover plate capable of serving as a manuscript holder as well as a recording paper tray. A facsimile machine comprises a main body including an operation panel provided at its front end, a manuscript inlet opening provided at its substantially the center, and a recording paper outlet opening provided behind the manuscript inlet opening. A tray serving as a manuscript holder as well as a recording paper tray is hingedly supported at a rear end of the main body so as to be opened or closed between an opened position where the tray extends rearward and obliquely upward and a closed position where the tray covers the upper surface of the main body. And, the tray has a longer length enough to reach the front edge of the main body when it is closed, and is formed with a cutout at its front end so as to expose the operation panel even when the tray is closed. Furthermore, the operation panel includes a plurality of buttons obliquely arrayed with respect to the front edge of the main body.
