Claim Text:
1. A recording material image capture device, comprising: a light radiating unit radiating light to a recording material; an image capture unit receiving the light which is radiated from the light radiating unit and is reflected on a surface of the recording material; a light transmissive member provided between the image capture unit and the recording material to which the light is radiated from the light radiating unit so that the light reflected on the surface of the recording material passes through the light transmissive member; an opposing member provided so as to be opposed to the light transmissive member, wherein nipping the recording material by the light transmissive member and the opposing member causes the opposing member to have a contact region which is brought into contact with the recording material and a non-contact region which is not brought into contact with the recording material, wherein the non-contact region extends over an entire region corresponding to an image used for determining the recording material; and an output portion outputting, based on an image captured by the image capture unit, a value related to the recording material to which the light is radiated from the light radiating unit.
