Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image scanning device, which comprises: a document tray to load an original document to be scanned; a discharge tray to load the original document after being scanned; and a frame which the document tray and the discharge tray are mounted on. A conveyance path is formed inside the frame to connect the document tray and the discharge tray. The frame contains a conveying structure to convey the original document along the conveyance path; a transparent support member located below the conveyance path to support the original document; a scanning member located below the transparent support member, the scanning member having a scanning position in which the scanning member scans the original document when being located on the transparent support member; and a pressing member disposed above the transparent support member and facing the scanning member for pressing the original document onto the transparent support member.

Claim (Index 8):
An image forming apparatus, comprising:\n an image scanning device for scanning an image of an original document; and an image printing device for printing the image scanned by the image scanning device, wherein the image scanning device includes: a document tray to load the original document; a discharge tray to load the original document after being scanned; and a frame which the document tray and the discharge tray are mounted on; a conveyance path is formed inside the frame to connect the document tray and the discharge tray, wherein the frame contains: a conveying structure to convey the original document along the conveyance path; a transparent support member located below the conveyance path to support the original document when passing through; a scanning member located below the transparent support member, the scanning member having a scanning position in which the scanning member scans the original document when being located on the transparent support member; and a pressing member disposed above the transparent support member and facing the scanning member for pressing the original document onto the transparent support member, wherein the pressing member includes a pressing portion that is in contact with the original document; the pressing portion has a start position for starting to contact with the original document, an end position for starting to separate from the original document, and a middle position as a middle point between the start position and the end position; and the scanning position of the scanning member is located between the start position and the middle position in a direction perpendicular to the conveyance path.
