Abstract: A reading apparatus that reads an image formed on a document while transporting the document, the reading apparatus includes a first reading section that reads, as a read image, one of specularly reflected light or diffusely reflected light which is reflected from the document on a reading glass through which the moving document passes, and a second reading section that reads, as a read image, the other of the specularly reflected light or the diffusely reflected light which is reflected from the document on one side of a transport path through which the document is transported.

Abstract: A reading apparatus includes an irradiation unit that performs irradiation with light, a light receiving unit that receives light reflected from an object to be imaged, a first optical path in which specularly reflected light, which is obtained as light emitted by the irradiation unit is reflected from a first reflection surface so that a front surface of the object to be imaged in an irradiation region is irradiated with the reflected light, and the reflected light is specularly reflected from the front surface of the object to be imaged, is guided to the light receiving unit as a read image, a second optical path in which diffusely reflected light, which is obtained as the light emitted by the irradiation unit is reflected from a second reflection surface so that the front surface of the object to be imaged in the irradiation region is irradiated with the reflected light, and the reflected light is diffusely reflected from the front surface of the object to be imaged, is guided to the light receiving unit as a read image, and a switching section that switches between the first optical path and the second optical path by rotating the irradiation unit.

Abstract: A reading device includes a radiator configured to radiate light, a light receiver configured to receive the light reflected from an image capturing target, a first optical path on which the light radiated by the radiator is reflected by a reflection surface to irradiate a surface of the image capturing target in a radiation area so that diffuse reflection light diffusely reflected by the surface of the image capturing target is guided to the light receiver as a read image, a second optical path on which the light radiated by the radiator is reflected by the reflection surface to irradiate the surface of the image capturing target in the radiation area so that regular reflection light regularly reflected by the surface of the image capturing target is guided to the light receiver as a read image, and a switcher configured to switch 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.
