the Z-direction, so that the projection 221a of the lever 221 abuts the slanted portion 251 disposed on the apparatus body. As a result, the optical writing device 270 receives a reaction force from the slanted portion 251 and is pressed toward the Y- and Z-directions. Then, the cylindrical fixed part 231 disposed at one end in the Y-direction as illustrated in FIG. 14 is pressed against the V-shaped receiving part 242, and the cylindrical fixed part 232 at the other end in the Y-direction is pressed against the Z-direction receiving part 252. With this structure, the optical writing device 270 is positioned and secured to the apparatus body. In addition, when the lever 221 rotates against the biasing force of the compression spring 222, the biasing forcein this session.
