Abstract:
An image forming device includes: an image forming unit that forms an image on a transfer medium; and a controller that controls multiple image readers capable of performing image reading for the same surface of the transfer medium, and acquires reading results from the image readers. The controller is capable of performing failure/no-failure determination for the image on the transfer medium based on the reading results, of switching image reading by the multiple image readers between reading by a first number of image readers and reading by a second number of image readers, the second number being smaller than the first number, and of enabling, while the second number of image readers perform reading, at least one of the other image readers to execute a maintenance operation for the at least one of the other image readers.

Claim (Index 10):
The image forming device according to  claim 1 , wherein, while image reading is performed by the second number of image readers, the controller causes at least one of the other image readers not performing image reading to perform image reading at a predetermined time and concurrently with the image readers.
