PURPOSE:To cope simply with a trouble such as jam of an original at inexpensive cost, by separating a reading optical unit from the main body of a device. CONSTITUTION:A reflecting light (r) of an original 1 irradiated by a lighting source 6 is reflected horizontally with the original 1 with the 1st mirror 27 and in opposite direction of a carrying direction of the original 1, and reflected at a right angle to the carrying direction of the original 1 with the 2nd mirror 28 and the image is formed on a photo detector 9, e.g., a CCD with a lens 8. Components located at the upper part from the carrying original 1, a lighting optical system 6, reflecting optical systems 27, 28, an image forming optical system 8 and a photoelectric converting section 9 are all provided on a printed board 31 and split completely from the surface on which the original 1 is carried. Further, a fulcrum is provided at a depth being opposite side to the front side of a reading unit 22, and the entire unit 22 is turned manually in a direction vertical to the original carrying direction, allowing to switch the carrying plane of the original 1 as a split plane. |
