Image scanning device

Abstract

An image scanning device includes a transport section that transports a document along a transport path; an image scanning unit that is configured to scan an image from the document transported by the transport section; and a first conductive section that is configured to electrically conduct with the image scanning unit. The image scanning unit has a scanning section that is configured to scan the image from the document transported by the transport section, a glass plate that is configured to contact with the document between the scanning section and the transport path, and a second conductive section that is configured to electrically conduct with the glass plate. The image scanning unit is configured to displace along a displacement direction that intersects the transport path. The first conductive section is configured to follow the displacement of the image scanning unit and to maintain electrical conductivity with the glass plate by maintaining a state where the first conductive section is in contact with the second conductive section by following the displacement of the image scanning unit.
