Abstract:
An image reading device includes a reading unit to read a sheet image and a turning unit to turn relative to the reading unit. The turning unit includes a conveyance roller to convey a sheet to a reading position, a discharged sheet stacking tray having the read sheet, a discharge roller to discharge the sheet to the discharged sheet stacking tray, and a communication unit to wirelessly receive data from outside the image reading device. Where the sheet is stacked, the discharged sheet stacking tray includes a first region and a second region downstream of the first region. The first region has a sheet regulating portion at a front side of the first region located higher than a bottom face where the sheet is stacked, and the second region does not have the sheet regulating portion. A reading part to read communication unit information is disposed overlapping the second region.
