To solve the problem in which: it is demanded to make starting efficient to reduce the time required for the starting.SOLUTION: An image reading device comprises: a first reading unit that reads a first surface of a document to be conveyed; a second reading unit that reads a second surface of the document; a first control unit that controls reading performed by the first reading unit; and a second control unit that controls reading performed by the second reading unit. The first control unit and the second control unit can communicate with each other. The first control unit can communicate with the first reading unit and the second reading unit. When the image reading device is powered on, the first control unit performs in parallel first reading unit start processing of starting the first reading unit, second control unit start processing of starting the second control unit, and second reading unit start processing of starting the second reading unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】起動を効率化して起動に要する時間を短縮することが求められている。【解決手段】搬送される原稿の第１面を読み取る第１読取部と、前記原稿の第２面を読み取る第２読取部と、前記第１読取部による読取を制御する第１制御部と、前記第２読取部による読取を制御する第２制御部と、を備える画像読取装置であって、前記第１制御部と前記第２制御部とは相互に通信可能であり、前記第１制御部は、前記第１読取部および前記第２読取部へ通信可能であり、前記第１制御部は、前記画像読取装置の電源が投入された場合に、前記第１読取部を起動させる第１読取部起動処理と、前記第２制御部を起動させる第２制御部起動処理と、前記第２読取部を起動させる第２読取部起動処理と、を並行して行う。【選択図】図３
