The access cover release device pivots the upper access cover (4) away from a lower housing part (10) after its release, with the sheet tray (3) incorporated in the upper access cover moved away from the end of the sheet feed device (5) incorporated in the lower housing part, so that it does not collide with the sheet feed device as the cover is pivoted into the open position.
