An objective of the present invention is to carry out double-sided reading-in at low cost and without waste. A main body unit (100) which is an image forming device comprises: an image forming unit (120) which forms an image of a recording medium (P); a reading-in unit (140) which reads in the image which is formed of one side of the recording medium (P) by the image forming unit (120); a conveyor unit (110) which conveys the recording medium (P) so as to make the recording medium (P) pass close to the positioning locations of the image forming unit (120) and the read-in unit (140), while making the one side of the recording medium (P) face the image forming unit (120) and the read-in unit (140); and a switchback unit (150) which, when the forming of the images of both sides of the recording medium (P) is carried out by the image forming unit (120), functions as an inversion unit which inverts the recording medium (P) whereupon the image of the one side has been formed and conveys the recording medium (P) upstream of the image forming unit (120) in the conveyance direction of the conveyor unit (110). The read-in unit (140) is disposed downstream of the image forming unit (120), and upstream of the inversion unit, in the conveyance direction. |
