ABSTRACT:
A polygon scanner including a polygon mirror, a bearing, a polygon motor, and a scanner board is mounted in an optical housing. A scanner-unit attachment portion to which the polygon scanner is attached is formed as a convex portion protruded from a bottom plate of the optical housing such that at least a planar shape of the polygon mirror is surrounded by the convex portion. The scanner board makes a tight contact with an upper surface of the convex portion in direct contact with each other, so that a bottom of the polygon scanner is covered by the convex portion and the bottom plate of the optical housing in a sealed manner.
