Abstract:
An image reading device includes an original document transport device, a first reading module and a control portion. When the control portion performs the light source turning-on confirmation processing of the first reading module, the control portion performs first opening/closing determination processing for determining the state of the opening and closing of a cover member, light amount acquisition processing for turning on a light source so as to acquire light amount data after it is determined in the first opening/closing determination processing that the cover member is in a closed state, second opening/closing determination processing for determining again the state of the opening and closing of the cover member after the acquisition of the light amount data in the light amount acquisition processing and light amount determination processing for determining the light amount after it is determined that the cover member is in the closed state.

Claim (Index 1):
An image reading device comprising:\n an original document transport device that includes\n an original document transport path along which an original document is passed, \n a cover member which can be opened and closed in a predetermined section of the original document transport path, \n an opening/closing detection sensor which detects a state of opening and closing of the cover member and \n a white reference plate which is arranged in the cover member and which is opposite a first reading module in a state where the cover member is closed and \n that transports the original document; the first reading module that is arranged within the original document transport device, that includes a light source and a sensor for reading, as image light, light which is applied from the light source to the transported original document and which is reflected off the transported original document and that can read an image on the original document transported by the original document transport device; and a control portion that controls the first reading module, wherein the control portion can perform light source turning-on confirmation processing of the first reading module in which the light source is turned on in a state where the white reference plate is opposite the first reading module such that light amount data is acquired with the sensor and in which a state of turning on of the light source is determined based on whether or not the acquired light amount is equal to or more than a reference value, and when the control portion performs the light source turning-on confirmation processing, the control portion sequentially performs\n first opening/closing determination processing for determining the state of the opening and closing of the cover member based on a result of the detection by the opening/closing detection sensor, \n light amount acquisition processing for turning on the light source so as to acquire the light amount data after it is determined in the first opening/closing determination processing that the cover member is in a closed state, \n second opening/closing determination processing for determining again the state of the opening and closing of the cover member based on a result of the detection by the opening/closing detection sensor after the acquisition of the light amount data in the light amount acquisition processing and \n light amount determination processing for determining, after it is determined in the second opening/closing determination processing that the cover member is in the closed state, whether or not the light amount is equal to or more than the reference value.
