A mechanism for facilitating necessary axial adjustments for an image reader unit with a simple arrangement and operation. The image reader unit 2, on which a sensor 4 and a lens 6 are joined to each other in a specific positional relationship along the optical axis L, is so held by a supporting mechanism 41 that the image reader unit 2 can rotate at the lens side about an axis R of rotation which is parallel to the optical axis L and can swing at the sensor side vertically about a pivotal point P which is located on the axis R. A height adjusting mechanism 42 rotatably supports the image reader unit 2 at the sensor side and adjusts its height, and a tilt adjusting mechanism 43 adjusts the inclination of the image reader unit 2 by rotation around the axis R.
