Abstract
A multi-function peripheral which facilitates maintenance includes a scanner unit, a printer unit and a support assembly. The support assembly includes a top platen, on which the scanner unit is placed, a bottom platen, on which the printer unit is placed, and a vertical support column for connecting the top platen to the bottom platen. The top platen is capable of being rotated about the vertical support column relative to the bottom platen, or the vertical support column is retractable to enlarge a buffer space above the printer unit and to facilitate the maintenance of the printer unit.
