Abstract:
1. A data processing apparatus, comprising: a casing; a sheet tray mounted to the casing and movable into and out of the casing in a moving direction; and a disk unit mounted to the casing such that: (1) a surface of a disk loaded into the disk unit is parallel to the moving direction, (2) the surface of the disk is parallel to an up-and-down direction of the apparatus, and (3) the disk unit is mounted above, below or to a side of the sheet tray with respect to the moving direction, such that damage to the surface of the disk loaded into the disk unit resulting from forces applied to the casing in first and second perpendicular directions is inhibited, wherein the up-and-down direction of the apparatus extends between a top and a bottom of the casing when the apparatus is in an upright operational position.
