Abstract
A reading device includes a radiator radiating light, a light receiver receiving the light reflected from a target, a first optical path on which the light is reflected by a reflection surface to irradiate a surface of the target in a radiation area so that diffuse reflection light diffusely reflected by the surface of the target is guided to the light receiver as a read image, a second optical path on which the light is reflected by the reflection surface to irradiate the surface of the target in the radiation area so that regular reflection light regularly reflected by the surface of the target is guided to the light receiver as a read image, and a switcher switching the first optical path and the second optical path in a carriage that houses the radiator and the reflection surface and moves along a sub-scanning direction for image reading.
