Patent ID: 8363286

Claim:
An image reading device comprising: an original table having: a stationary original reading area that is rectangular when viewed two-dimensionally and where a transparent member is exposed from a top surface thereof, wherein a length of the stationary original reading area is longer than a width of the stationary original reading area; and an area for reading an image of a moved original where the transparent member is exposed along a direction of the length of the stationary original reading area; a line sensor provided inside the original table, and configured to move a reading line in a direction of the width of the stationary original reading area and configured to move the reading line to the area for reading an image of a moved original with the direction of the length of the stationary original reading area as the reading line; a cover member openably and closably provided on the original table so as to cover at least the stationary original reading area; an original conveying mechanism having a conveyance path leading from an original placement portion where an original to be read is placed by way of the area for reading an image of a moved original in a direction orthogonal to a direction of a length of the area for reading an image of a moved original to an original output portion where the original is outputted; and an operational panel configured to receive a user instruction, wherein the operation panel has a rectangular shape, and a longitudinal direction of the operation panel is a direction orthogonal to the direction of the conveyance path, wherein the area for reading the image of a moved original is arranged between the stationary original reading area and the operation panel, wherein the original conveying mechanism is configured to convey a document to be read which is larger than a maximum size document that is able to be read in the stationary original reading area, wherein a width of the conveyance path of the original conveying mechanism corresponds to the length in the direction of the length of the stationary original reading area and to the length in the direction of the length of the area for reading an image of a moved original, and wherein the original conveying mechanism and the operation panel are disposed on a first side of the image reading device, the operation panel is separately and independently provided adjacent to the original conveying mechanism, and the original conveying mechanism is configured to output the original to the original output portion toward a second side of the image reading device opposite the first side.
