Original Abstract Submitted
An optical scanning device includes a casing including a bottom portion on which the deflector is disposed and a side wall stood from the bottom portion, a circuit board, a cover closing an opening, formed by the side wall, of the casing. The side wall includes first and second side walls, and the second side wall includes a through hole, and first and second side surfaces of the through hole. The cover includes a protective portion for protecting the circuit board and a restricted portion disposed in a position corresponding to the through hole and including first and second end portions. The restricted portion includes first and second insertion portions to be inserted into the through hole. A distance between the second end portion and the second side surface is smaller than a distance between the protective portion and the closest electric element.
