Abstract: A main body frame of a multifunction machine has first and second frames of which surfaces parallel to a Z-axis face each other. A recording head is disposed between the first and the second frames and fixed to the main body frame. An ejection tray is fixed to the main body frame on a +Z direction with respect to the recording head. A scanner is fixed to the main body frame on the +Z direction with respect to the ejection tray and forms an ejection space with the ejection tray. The recording head performs recording on a medium which is being transported toward a first direction, which is an in-plane direction of the first frame. The ejection tray is configured to be removed toward a second direction, which is the in-plane direction of the first frame, in a state where the scanner is fixed to the main body frame.

Abstract: A sheet discharge device includes a discharge portion, a sheet stacking tray, a pair of alignment members and a pair of width regulation members, a shift portion, and a control portion. The pair of alignment members include an arm portion formed of a rigid body, and an alignment portion formed of a flat-shaped elastic material and fixed to a swingable end of the arm portion. In the sorting processing, when stacking a sheet at a first position, the control portion causes a first alignment member to ride on a top surface of the sheet and a first side edge of a second alignment member to make contact with the sheet, and, when stacking the sheet at a second position, causes the second alignment member to ride on the top surface of the sheet and the first side edge of the first alignment member to make contact with the sheet.
