Abstract:
An image reading device including a contact glass; a reading unit; a pressure plate; a pressure-plate opening/closing sensor, and circuitry. The circuitry determines a presence or absence of external light input to a space between the pressure plate and the surface of the contact glass based on image data obtained by the reading unit when the light source is turned off; compares read data according to light emitted from the light source and received by the image sensor when the pressure plate is closed, with read data of a reference value obtained when the pressure plate is completely closed, to obtain a difference and determine a state of the read data based on the difference; and determines whether the pressure plate is open or closed based on a determination result of the presence or absence of external light and on the difference.

Claim (Index 2):
The image reading device according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the circuitry determines whether the pressure plate is open or closed only when the pressure-plate opening/closing sensor detects that the pressure plate is closed.
