Abstract

PURPOSE:To confirm the read range of an optional part of an original and the position positioning of the original by giving an original read range display mark to an original platen of a picture reader and providing a position matching window to observe the original platen from the read part. CONSTITUTION:A display mark 20 displaying the read range is provided to the original platen 1 and the positioning window 2 is fitted so that the range of an optional part of the read original is confirmed from the read section side. The positioning in reading the original and the confirmation of the read range by using the window 2 are facilitated and the original is read while being adhered closely to the original platen 1. Further, the picture reader itself is adhered closely to the original while the original platen 1 is placed under the original.
