Abstract:
1. An image reading device comprising: a first reader member that receives light from a medium so as to read an image recorded on a surface of the medium; a second reader member having a spectroscope that separates the light from the medium and reading a color of the image recorded on the surface of the medium on the basis of the separated light; a deriving unit that derives associating information that associates a first read result with a second read result on the basis of the first read result and the second read result, the first read result being obtained by the first reader member reading the medium having the image with a predetermined color recorded thereon, the second read result being obtained by the second reader member reading the medium; and a measuring unit that, when the color of the image on the medium is to be measured for performing color calibration, measures the color by reading the medium by using the first reader member so as to determine a color corresponding to the second read result on the basis of the first read result and the associating information.
