When a device main body acquires detection information corresponding to a second original document from a rigidity detecting unit in a state where the device main body is in a first posture, a control unit of an image reading device performs a first step of stopping transporting an original document and a second step of controlling a driving source to switch the posture of the device main body from a first posture to a second posture in which a sloped angle of the device main body is smaller than that in the first posture.
