Abstract

An original transfer apparatus used in an image-forming apparatus for forming an image in accordance with image information from an original set on an original table, whereby the original is transferred to the original table, is provided with a housing which is removably attached to the image-forming apparatus. The housing contains therein a transfer mechanism for swallowing and transferring the original to the original table. A drive source for driving the transfer mechanism is integrally provided in the housing. Since the drive source is contained in the housing, the original transfer apparatus can be mounted on the image-forming apparatus with ease.
