A recording-material-transporting apparatus includes: a transport unit that transports a recording material along a transport path; an image reading unit that is disposed on one side of the transport path and that reads an image formed on the recording material transported along the transport path; and a rotating member disposed opposite the image reading unit with the transport path provided therebetween. At least one portion of the rotating member contacts the image reading unit, or a rotating member support that supports the rotating member contacts the image reading unit.

Recording-material-transporting apparatus and image forming system

An image-reading apparatus includes: a light-receiving unit that receives reflected light from a recording material on which an image is formed; and multiple light-reflecting members that reflect the reflected light from the recording material toward the light-receiving unit. At least one light-reflecting member of the multiple light-reflecting members reflect the reflected light multiple times.

Image-reading apparatus and image-forming system

An image reading apparatus includes a reading apparatus body, an accommodation member, and a positioning member. The reading apparatus body reads a document mounted on a document platen. The accommodation member accommodates the reading apparatus body and moves from one end portion to the other end portion of the document when reading the document. The positioning member is mounted on the reading apparatus body, the positioning member having a convex section positioning the reading apparatus body in a height direction by coming into contact with the document platen and an engaging section engaging with an engaged section formed in the accommodation member in the height direction.

Image reading apparatus

Provided is an image reading device including a platen that supports an original document on which an image is recorded, a reading unit that is opposed to the original document with the platen interposed therebetween, and includes a reading member which reads the image on the original document extending in a first direction, and a supporting member that supports the reading member, is movable along a second direction intersecting with the first direction, and is movably supported such that the reading member reads the image on the original document in the first and second directions, a guiding member that extends in the second direction and guides the supporting member when the supporting member is moved in the second direction, and a moving member that is disposed to be separated from the guiding member in the first direction and moves the supporting member along the second direction.

Image reading device, and image forming apparatus

A scanning exposure device includes: a reflecting member that reflects a light irradiated by an irradiating unit; a housing that has a bottom, a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and an aperture opening in a direction of a light reflected by the reflecting member; a cover that covers the aperture, forms a passing portion that allows the light reflected by the reflecting member to pass through, and provides a first fixed position at which the housing is fixed on the first sidewall and a second fixed position, paired with the first fixed position, at which the housing is fixed on the second sidewall, wherein the first fixed position and the second fixed position are arranged such that the main scanning direction passes between them.
