Abstract: An original reading unit has first and second arrays of sensor assemblies extending in a main scanning direction for performing readings of an original document. Each of the sensor assemblies includes a sensor holder that undergoes pivotal movement about a single rotation center as a fulcrum along a wall of a unit base to bring the sensor holder to a predetermined position whereat the sensor holder can be fixed to the units base wall. A line sensor is mounted relative to the sensor holder so as not to be shifted in the main scanning direction or in a sub-scanning direction, and to undergo movement in an approaching or a separating direction so as to be brought into contact with or separated from, respectively, the unit base wall and an original support plate attached to the unit base. A focus setup unit moves the line sensor in the approaching or separating direction and positions the line sensor at a location whereat focus can be adjusted.

Abstract: A scanning apparatus having an adjusting means is provided to allow the optical scanning module against the platen. The adjusting means is assembled with the carriage that carries the optical scanning module. The adjusting means at least comprises a roller and a rotated portion, wherein the roller tightly contacts the rotated portion. When the carriage is moving (during a scanning operation), the roller is rotating and friction (between the roller and the rotating assembly) causes the rotated portion to turn until contacting with the bottom surface of the optical scanning module, thereby allowing the optical scanning module against the platen.

Abstract: Disclosed is an adjustable fixing device of a CCD plate comprising at least a central supporter and a mask device. The central supporter is made of non-transparency material. The mask device and the central supporter are approximately combined by a supporting device. The mask device and the central supporter are moved with respect to one another in a traveling range. An adhesive agent is filled to the place between the mask device and the central supporter for combining the mask device and the central supporter in a fixing position in the traveling range. Thereby, the central supporter is made of non-transparency material without needing to be performed with light shield process or installed with light shield element for effectively reducing cost. A preferred guiding structure is formed between the central supporter and the mask device for guiding the central supporter and the mask device so that they may move steadily. A larger adhesive area is formed between the central supporter and the mask device so that the central supporter and the mask device are more steadily combined.
