Image scanning unit

Abstract

Disclosed is an image scanning unit which has: a CCD substrate which is mounted on a block; three groups of adjustment fastening members to position the CCD substrate in three dimensional directions orthogonal to one another; and a springy member to press each of the adjustment fastening members against receiving part of each of the adjustment fastening members; wherein the three groups of adjustment fastening members are of a first group of fastening members to conduct the focus adjustment by independently positioning the CCD substrate in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the CCD substrate at both ends of CCD in the longitudinal direction, a second group of fastening members to conduct the sub-scanning adjustment by independently positioning the CCD substrate in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the CCD substrate within the plane of the CCD substrate at both ends of CCD in the longitudinal direction, and a third group of fastening member tot conduct the main-scanning adjustment by independently positioning the CCD substrate in a direction along the longitudinal direction of the CCD substrate within the plane of the CCD substrate.
