According to this invention, since the light from the emitting X part can be irradiated onto the document surface as a small spot from the front, the focal length of the lens system may be short, and only one set of lens systems may be required.
Furthermore, since the light emitting part and the light receiving part can be provided on the base, the overall structure is simple.
A reduction in the number of lenses used can also lead to lower prices.
