A guide member long in the Y direction is provided so as to be horizontally located upward of the intermediate position in the X direction at the frame drive member. A moving member disposed at this guide member so as to be movable in the Y direction is movable integrally therewith in the Y direction relative to the frame drive member and is connected thereto so as to be relatively movable in the X direction. A sub drive mechanism is able to move the moving member in synchronization with the drive of the Y-direction frame drive portion.
