Abstract

A position detecting device includes circuitry. The circuitry is configured to control a reading device to detect, as a first detection result, an outer shape of a processing subject and a position of an image pattern on the processing subject; control the reading device to detect, as a second detection result, a mark arranged on a position reference member, the mark corresponding to a predetermined position in the reading device; and detect a first correction value of the reading device and a second correction value of the reading device corrected by the first correction value on basis of the second detection result and reflect the first correction value and the second correction value to the first detection result to correct a processing position in the processing subject.
