Abstract:
1. An image reading device comprising: a first conveying unit that sequentially feeds a plurality of media to be read placed in a tray one by one in a conveying direction; a second conveying unit that is disposed downstream of the first conveying unit in the conveying direction and conveys, in the conveying direction, the plurality of media to be read, which is fed one by one by the first conveying unit; and an image capturing unit that is disposed downstream of the second conveying unit in the conveying direction, and captures an image of a medium conveyed thereto and outputs an electric signal as image line data to generate image data of the medium, wherein: the image reading device is configured to detect the medium conveyed based on the image line data output from the image capturing unit when the medium is conveyed by the first conveying unit and the second conveying unit, and the image reading device is configured to stop conveying a next medium subsequent to the medium conveyed before the first conveying unit starts conveying the next medium when the medium conveyed is being detected based on the image line data output from the image capturing unit, and to resume conveying the next medium when the medium conveyed is no longer detected based on the image line data output from the image capturing unit.
