The first cable is connected to a first connecting portion disposed in the reading unit, the first cable being held by the reading unit on one side in the longitudinal direction with respect to the support shaft. The second cable is connected to a second connecting portion disposed in the reading unit, the second cable being held by the reading unit on the other side in the longitudinal direction with respect to the support shaft.
