An apparatus for supporting an optical component that stably and precisely
mounts the optical component for reflecting or permeating a beam emitted
from a light source on a frame, and a laser scanner and an image forming
device having the same, respectively. The laser scanner includes a light
source, a reflective mirror to reflect a beam emitted from the light
source, a supporting surface to support the reflective mirror in a
predetermined orientation, and at least one horizontal reference surface
and at least one vertical reference surface disposed in the supporting
surface to provide reference surfaces for measuring a reflective point of
the reflective mirror.
