Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes: a paper path; an image reader which reads a side of the sheet conveyed along the paper path in a reading position; a sheet support member located opposite to the image reader to support a rear surface opposite to a surface to be read of the sheet; a spectrophotometer which colorimetrically measures color of an image formed on the sheet; and an image reading housing which accommodates the image reader and the spectrophotometer. The image reader includes: a reading housing; and a drawer guide provided in the reading housing such that it can be drawn from the image reading housing, and maintains the distance between a light transmitting member housed in the reading housing and the sheet support member to be greater than a reading distance lower limit. The drawer guide transfers heat to the outside of the reading housing.

Claim (Index 1):
An image reading apparatus which reads a sheet, comprising:\n a paper path along which the sheet is conveyed; an image reader which reads at least either one of front and back sides of the sheet conveyed along the paper path in a reading position; a sheet support member which is located opposite to the image reader to support a rear surface opposite to a surface to be read of the sheet; a spectrophotometer which colorimetrically measures color of an image formed on the sheet; and an image reading housing which accommodates the image reader and the spectrophotometer, the image reader comprising: a reading housing; a light transmitting member which is housed in the reading housing, and located in a position opposite to the sheet in the reading position to transmit illumination light radiated from the image reader to the sheet and transmit incident light including reflected light which is reflected from the sheet; and a drawer guide which is provided in the reading housing such that it can be drawn from the image reading housing, and maintains the distance between the light transmitting member and the sheet support member to be greater than a reading distance lower limit, wherein the drawer guide transfers heat, which is generated when radiating the illumination light, to the outside of the reading housing.
