IMAGE READING DEVICE AND RECORDING DEVICE

Provided is an image reading device including: a reading unit reading an image on a document; a carriage moving with the reading unit; a detector included in the carriage and having a predetermined width in a movement direction of the carriage; a detection sensor being in a detection state when the detector is located at a position where the detector faces the detection sensor and being in a non-detection state when the detector is located at a position where the detector does not face the detection sensor; and a control portion configured to perform a positional shift determination operation of determining a positional shift of the carriage, in which, as the positional shift determination operation, the control portion starts to move the carriage when the detection sensor is in the detection state and determines the positional shift of the carriage, based on a moving amount of the carriage.
