Abstract
An image forming device such as a copying machine provides a linearly polarized beam of light to be made incident on a document to be scanned which is placed on a document table. A transparent cover with a polarization filter attached to it covers the document such that the user can ascertain, without too much light entering his eyes, whether the document is placed at a correct position on the table.
