Abstract
An image reading device includes a reading section having a plurality of optoelectronic transducers aligned in a main scanning direction, a sub-scanner causing the reading section to scan a first sheet and a second sheet in a sub-scanning direction, and a controller determining an adjustment value defining a length in the sub-scanning direction of image data output by the reading section based on first image data and second image data. The first sheet and the second sheet have the same size. In the first image data, an angle at which the first edge intersects with the main scanning direction is smaller than an angle at which the second edge intersects with the main scanning direction. In the second image data, an angle at which the second edge intersects with the main scanning direction is smaller than an angle at which the first edge intersects with the main scanning direction.
