An image reading device comprising:

• a transport path along which a medium having an image recorded thereon is transported;
• a light source member that radiates light onto the medium passing a predetermined read position in the transport path;

• a detecting member that is disposed in the transport path and that detects the medium;
• and
• a notifying member that notifies a user that the medium is jammed based on a detection result of the detecting member,
• wherein the light source member is turned on when the medium is jammed based on the detection result of the detecting member.
