Abstract
In an image-reading device, a controller is configured to control a reading unit to read a reference plate to generate reference image data and to read a first and second faces of an original to generate first and second image data; identify a show-through line including a show-through region in which the first face depicts a first background color and the second face has a highest density value and a non-show-through region in which the first face depicts the first background color and the second face depicts a second background color; calculate an image data ratio of the show-through and non-show-through regions in the first image data; calculate a reference data ratio of the show-through and non-show-through regions in the reference image data; and determine a show-through removal light intensity such that a difference between the image data ratio and the reference data ratio falls within a prescribed range.
