Abstract

An image reading portion includes a light emitting portion and a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements. The light emitting portion emits detection light to a target area extending over a surface of a conveying belt and a pair of off-belt areas outside the conveying belt in a width direction. The image reading portion outputs a plurality of pixel data items. A reference member forms a pair of boundary lines by the difference in reflectance of the detection light at a pair of reference positions in the pair of off-belt areas. A calibration portion identifies data items corresponding to the pair of boundary lines in the plurality of pixel data items obtained by the image reading portion so as to correct reference position data representing a correspondence relationship between the plurality of pixel data items and positions in the width direction.
