The unit includes a portion-to-be-positioned engaging with the positioning portion and a grip portion configured to be gripped by a user when the unit is demounted from the main assembly. The main assembly further includes an inclined surface provided immediately in front of the positioning portion with respect to a mounting direction of the unit to the main assembly and configured to guide the portion-to-be-positioned to the positioning portion. The grip portion includes a grip surface configured to receive a force exerted in a pulling-out direction of the unit by the user when the user pulls out the unit from the main assembly. The grip surface and the inclined surface form an angle of substantially not less than 90.
