Abstract

A document reading device includes a reading table, an openable member, a detection member, an open and close movement member, a reading member, a reading movement member, and a controller. The reading table, which allows a document to be placed thereon, is covered or uncovered by closing or opening the openable member. The open and close movement member is moved as the openable member is opened or closed. The open and close movement member positioned at the detection position is detected by the detection member. The reading member reads the document on the reading table while being moved by a drive force controlled by the controller. The reading movement member is moved as the reading member is moved. The reading movement member positioned at the detection position is detected by the detection member.
