Abstract

A modified control panel used in office machines, which is disposed on an unfoldable upper cover or an automatic document feeder attached on the upper cover without the need of an extra projective portion for disposition of the control panel. Therefore, the machine volume can be effectively shrunk to meet the requirement of miniaturization without affecting operational convenience, thereby reducing material cost and packaging and transportation cost to enhance the competitive capacity of product. The office machine includes a main body, an unfoldable upper cover connected at the main body, and a control panel disposed at the upper cover.
