Abstract
An image reading apparatus includes a reader, a conveying path, a conveyer, a conveyer driving unit, a conveyer housing, a lighting unit, a cooler, and a frame. The reader reads an image on a sheet at a predetermined reading position. The conveying path guides the sheet having the image to the reading position and guides the sheet read by the reader in an ejecting direction. The conveyer conveys the sheet along the conveying path. The conveyer driving unit drives the conveyer. The conveyer housing supports the conveying path, the conveyer, and the conveyer driving unit. The lighting unit is fixed to an interior of the reader and illuminates the sheet conveyed by the conveyer to the reading position. The cooler cools the lighting unit. The frame separately fixes the reader and the conveyer housing. The cooler is fixed to the conveyer housing.
