Abstract

A portable image processing apparatus includes a sheet holding section formed so as to have a substantially cylindrical shape, a holding roller for cylindrically holding a sheet along a side of the sheet holding section, a sheet carrying section with a doughnut-like shape, a printing section fixed in an opposite position to the side of the sheet holding section, a stepping motor for scanning for rotating the sheet holding section which holds a sheet on an axis of a cylinder, and a stepping motor for carrying for rotating the sheet carrying section from its inner circumference towards its outer circumference in order to transfer the sheet parallel to the axis of the sheet holding section. As a result, the apparatus is miniaturized, thereby making it possible to improve its portability.
