Abstract
A reading unit has a scanner unit including a stimulating system, a CCD line sensor, and a position restricting mechanism, which are integrally mounted on a scanner head. The position restricting mechanism has first rubber rollers disposed for rolling contact with a surface of a stimulable phosphor sheet, and a second rubber roller disposed for rolling contact with an opposite surface of the stimulable phosphor sheet. The first rubber rollers and the second rubber roller serve to position a reading line on the stimulable phosphor sheet.
