Provided is an image reading apparatus includes a sensor capable of reading a document and a fixing member capable of restricting movement of the sensor on a basis of a user operation, the apparatus comprising: a control unit configured to perform predetermined control to move the sensor; a detection unit configured to detect a moving distance of the sensor by the predetermined control; a determination unit configured to execute a determination process of determining, on a basis of the detected moving distance of the sensor by the predetermined control, whether movement of the sensor is restricted by the fixing member; and a notification unit configured to execute a notification process of notifying a user that movement of the sensor is restricted by the fixing member, in a case where the determination unit determines that movement of the sensor is restricted by the fixing member.
An image reading apparatus comprising a sensor constructed to read a document on a document platen and a fixing member constructed to restrict movement of the sensor, wherein in a state in which the fixing member restricts the movement of the sensor, the sensor is switchable to a state in which the fixing member does not restrict the movement of the sensor in response to a user operation, the image reading apparatus further comprising:
A control method of controlling an image reading apparatus, wherein the image reading apparatus comprises a sensor constructed to read a document on a document platen and a fixing member constructed to restrict movement of the sensor, wherein in a state in which the fixing member restricts the movement of the sensor, the sensor is switchable to a state in which the fixing member does not restrict the movement of the sensor in response to a user operation,
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program which causes a computer of an image reading apparatus to perform a control method, wherein the image reading apparatus comprises a sensor constructed to read a document on a document platen and a fixing member constructed to restrict movement of the sensor, wherein in a state in which the fixing member restricts the movement of the sensor, the sensor is switchable to a state in which the fixing member does not restrict the movement of the sensor in response to a user operation,
