IMAGE INPUT OUTPUT APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image input output apparatus for preventing a contact between an FFC and a document bed without increasing the entire height of the apparatus. SOLUTION: In the state in which a top 26 of the FFC 34 is highest, a lower part of a folded part 30 is contained in a recessed part 46 formed at a bottom 42. More concretely, since the shape of the bottom 42 is set so that a lower end of a folded part 30, that is, a part at which the FFC 34 and the bottom 42 start contacting, is supported by a flat face 38 of a lowest recessed part 46 of the bottom 42, the height of an internal space of a scanner housing 18 is suppressed at parts other than the recessed part 46 without bringing the FFC 34 into contact with the document bed 22. Since the recessed part 46 is contained in a remaining space of a printer housing 56, the contact between the document bed 22 and the FFC 34 is prevented without increasing the entire height of the printer housing 56 and the scanner housing 18.
