Abstract
An optical scanner is provided with a light source, a deflector, an optical element, an imaging lens, a fixing structure, and a housing. The optical element has a reflecting surface. The fixing structure has a first support wall, a second support wall and a biasing member. The first support wall has a support projection with a tip part protruding along a thickness direction toward a rear surface and abutting on the rear surface, and an inclined surface extending from a tip part to a side opposite to the second support wall. A first angle between a first straight line extending in the perpendicular direction orthogonal to a bottom surface of the housing and a surface of the optical element is smaller than a second angle between the first straight line and the inclined surface. The second angle is less than 90 degrees.
