1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an electronic apparatus such as a facsimile apparatus or a copying machine, and more particularly to an electronic apparatus having an operation board whose position is adjustable with respect to the location of the electronic apparatus.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In order to explain the background of the present invention, reference will be made to FIG. 11, which is a plan view showing a typical example of a known facsimile apparatus, generally designated by the reference numeral 1. The facsimile apparatus 1 includes an original tray 2, a guide member 3 for guiding a read-through original, and a key board 5 having a handling set 4.
Since the key board 5 is located at a fixed position on the facsimile apparatus 1 with respect to the direction of an original is fed through the apparatus, hereinafter this direction being referred to as "the direction of operation", the location of the apparatus is fixed with respect to the key board 5. If office space is too limited, it will be difficult to find a site for installing this type of facsimile apparatus. Even if the apparatus is installed in a limited place, the operator will suffer from the handling difficulty.
