The flexible flat cable and the drive unit must be separated significantly in the vertical direction to avoid contact, which leads to an increase in the height dimension of the device. [Solution] The image reading device comprises a reading unit, an FFC in which a folded portion is formed between a first holding portion and a second holding portion, and a drive unit for driving the reading unit. The first holding portion, the second holding portion, and the FFC are positioned in a first direction with respect to the first belt section in terms of the first axis, and the folded portion of the FFC is closest to the reading unit when the reading unit is positioned at the end of the third direction in the moving region, and when the reading unit is positioned at the end of the third direction in the moving region, the FFC and the drive unit overlap when viewed from the normal direction, and the overlap is eliminated when the reading unit moves from the end of the third direction in the moving region in a fourth direction.
