Patent number: 10721365Abstract: An image reading device includes a reader, an opposing member, and circuitry. The reader is configured to read an image of an object to be conveyed. The opposing member has a plurality of opposing portions that include reference surfaces selectively switchable to be placed at a reading position of the reader. The reference surfaces include two or more identical reference surfaces. The circuitry is configured to determine whether an evaluation reading value of reading values read by the reader on each of the two or more identical reference surfaces is within a prescribed range and perform correction operation of the image reading device with the evaluation reading value within the prescribed range out of the reading values of the two or more identical reference surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2019Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventor: Hiroki Terauchi
