Abstract

An original-detection device includes a pressing member for pressing an original on an original-mount from a side opposite to a surface illuminated by scanning light, an absorption member, provided on an original-pressing surface of the pressing member, for absorbing light of a predetermined wavelength region within an invisible region, a filter for transmitting light of the predetermined wavelength region of reflected light obtained by projecting the scanning light onto the original or the original-pressing surface, a photosensor for sensing light transmitted through the filter, and a detection circuit for detecting the original on the original-mount based on an output from the photosensor.
