The pair of rails have slots and are mounted upon the top cover. The caddy base includes a planar surface upon which the keyboard is positioned; a plurality of side walls between which the keyboard is positioned; and a pair of protrusions extending from a pair of the side walls and slidably engaging the slots of the rails to allow the caddy base to be moved to a selectable one of a plurality of positions relative to the top cover of the copier. The keyboard caddy holds the keyboard on the copier when the top cover is opened and/or pivoted.
