a document cover movable with respect to the platen glass between an open position and a closed position, the document cover located at the closed position covering the platen glass;
a conveyer arranged inside the document cover, the conveyer being configured to convey the original document along a conveyer path;
a reading sensor arranged inside the document cover, the reading sensor being configured to read the original document conveyed along the conveyer path optically;
a document supporting member movable between a first position, at which the document supporting member faces a reading surface of the reading sensor across the conveyer path, and a second position, at which the document supporting member is separated farther from the reading surface than the document supporting member at the first position;
a pressing plate located at a lower side of the document cover, the pressing plate being movable between a third position, at which, when the document cover is at the closed position, the pressing plate is located to be lower than the reading sensor and contacts the platen glass, the pressing plate at the third position being attached to the lower side of the document cover, and a fourth position, at which the pressing plate is removed from the lower side of the document cover; and
