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 1):
A reading apparatus that performs colorimetry for a sheet output from an image forming apparatus with a print surface on which an image is printed, the reading apparatus comprising:\n 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 print surface of the sheet and provided with an opening, and, guides the sheet conveyed on the conveyance path; a first opposite member that urges the sheet conveyed on the conveyance path 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 of the first guide member, before the colorimetry unit performs colorimetry for the image.
