Abstract:
An optical scanning device (12) comprises: a housing (12a); transparent members (52); a linear member (54); a drive unit (55); guide rails (61); a pair of cleaning holders (511); cleaning members (53); a detection unit (56); and a control unit (90). The control unit (90) controls the driving of the drive unit (55). When the detection unit detects that one of the cleaning holders (511) has reached one end of a movement path of the cleaning holders (511) while a cleaning mode is in execution, the control unit (90) initiates an outward-trip operation, whereas when the detection unit (56) detects that the other of the cleaning holders (511) has reached the one end of the movement path of the cleaning holders (511), the control unit initiates a return-trip operation.
