CONSTITUTION:A mirror 3 rocking around the shaft 2 is provided to the lower part of the original platen 1 made of a planer glass plate. When the mirror 3 is placed on the solid-line in figure, the light from the original placed on the original platen 1 forms its image on the image sensor 5. When the mirror 3 is rocked around the shaft 2 and is at a position 3a shown in broken lines, the light from the original is formed on the monitor screen 8 provided to via the monitor image forming lens 6. Thus, the mirror 3 is replaced to a housing the position 3a prior to the reading to monitor the read range via the screen 8.
