Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus capable of reading an image recorded on a first surface and a second surface of a sheet, the image processing apparatus comprising: a conveying path comprising: a conveying mechanism configured to convey the sheet along a conveying direction from the first conveying path to the second conveying path through the curved conveying path; a first image reading section disposed below the first conveying path and comprising a first image sensor which reads the image recorded on the first surface of the sheet conveyed along the first conveying path at a first image reading position; a second image reading section comprising a second image sensor which reads, from below the second conveying path at a second image reading position, the image recorded on the second surface of the sheet conveyed along the second conveying path; and an upper cover configured to rotate between a closed position where the first conveying path is partly covered and an open position where the first conveying path is exposed, wherein the first conveying path and the first image sensor are exposed when the upper cover is in the open position, wherein the first image reading section further comprises: wherein the first pressing member is supported by the upper cover via the first urging member, and the first pressing member separates from the first platen when the upper cover is in the open position.
