Abstract
An image-reading apparatus includes: a light-receiving unit that receives reflected light from a recording material on which an image is formed; and multiple light-reflecting members that reflect the reflected light from the recording material toward the light-receiving unit. At least one light-reflecting member of the multiple light-reflecting members reflect the reflected light multiple times.
Claims10
An image-reading apparatus comprising:
- photo diodes that receive reflected light from a recording material on which an image is formed;
- and
- a plurality of light-reflecting members that reflects the reflected light from the recording material toward the photo diodes, wherein
- at least one light-reflecting member of the plurality of light-reflecting members reflects the reflected light a plurality of times, and
- a plurality of other light-reflecting members other than the at least one light-reflecting member reflects the reflected light after the at least one light-reflecting member reflects the reflected light until the at least one light-reflecting member reflects the reflected light next.

An image-forming system comprising:
- an image-forming apparatus that forms an image on a recording material;
- photo diodes that receive reflected light from the recording material on which the image is formed;
- and
- a plurality of light-reflecting members that reflects the reflected light from the recording material toward the photo diodes, wherein
- at least one light-reflecting member of the plurality of light-reflecting members reflects the reflected light a plurality of times, and
- a plurality of other light-reflecting members other than the at least one light-reflecting member reflects the reflected light after the at least one light-reflecting member reflects the reflected light until the at least one light-reflecting member reflects the reflected light next.
3 more elements
An image-reading apparatus comprising:
- means for receiving reflected light from a recording material on which an image is formed;
- and
- means for reflecting the reflected light from the recording material toward the means for receiving reflected light, wherein
- the means for reflecting the reflected light reflects the reflected light a plurality of times, and
- a plurality of other means for reflecting the reflected light reflects the reflected light after the means for reflecting the reflected light reflects the reflected light until the means for reflecting the reflected light reflects the reflected light next.
