A facsimile includes a body cover, a U-turn feed unit contained in the body cover and having a turnabout roller for changing an original-sheet feed direction, a reading sensor contained in the body cover to read an image on an original sheet transported in the U-turn feed unit, and an image recording unit contained in the body cover to record an image on a recording sheet. The reading sensor is situated at a position within a space surrounded by a U-turn feed path in the U-turn feed unit such that the reading sensor cannot interfere with the turnabout roller.
