Abstract:
A reading apparatus that performs colorimetry for an image on a sheet, includes a conveyor that conveys the sheet along a conveyance path; a first guide member that includes a reference surface arranged to face the conveyance path and to oppose the sheet and provided with an opening, and, guides the sheet; a first opposite member that urges the sheet toward the reference surface, and, brings the sheet in contact with the reference surface; a colorimetry unit that is disposed at a side opposite to the conveyance path so as to sandwich the first guide member, and, performs colorimetry for the image through the opening; and a processor that controls the conveyor and the first opposite member so as to convey the sheet in a state of being brought in contact with the reference surface, before the colorimetry unit performs colorimetry for the image.

Claim (Index 13):
The image fouling system of  claim 11 , wherein the colorimetry unit is a spectral colorimeter, the reading apparatus further includes a scanner capable of performing colorimetry for the image on an entire width of a conveyance region of a sheet in a width direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction of the sheet, each of the colorimetry unit and the scanner performs colorimetry for the identical image on the conveyed sheet, and a correction amount for the scanner is determined on a basis of obtained colorimetry data.
