Patent number: 11949826Abstract: An image reading device includes a sensor and circuitry. The sensor reads an image on a recording medium. The circuitry inspects the image and outputs an inspection result. The circuitry excludes an area of the recording medium as a first area from an area to be inspected, based on a type of the recording medium or a position of the recording medium with respect to a reading position at which the sensor reads the image, to determine a second area to be inspected. The circuitry outputs the inspection result based on the second area.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Rie Suzuki, Tatsuya Ishii
