Abstract: A rear side surface of a frame of an image-forming apparatus has throttle portions protruding toward the inside of the frame. By aligning the screw holes in the throttle portions and the through-holes in a guide rail and then screwing screws into these holes, the guide rail is fixed to the rear side surface with a predetermined distance therebetween. This restricts deformation of the guide rail due to a load applied by opening and closing the document holding plate.

Abstract: A vibration mirror used in an optical scanning device has two reflection surfaces on opposite sides. A pair of light beams corresponding to a pair of different colors are irradiated on one reflection surface and another pair of light beams corresponding to another pair of different colors are irradiated on other reflection surface. If there are fluctuations in dimensions or a change in temperature, because the vibration mirror is one, all the colors are subjected to the same influences.
