Specifically, on the front side of the left scanner support member 8, the left scanner support member 8 and the image reading part 1 are fastened together by a shoulder screw 16 so that the image reading part 1 may be displaced vertically downward while being placed on the top placing part 9b. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
