Abstract
An image reading apparatus is provided with a reader which reads a document, a transport roller which is provided on an upstream side of the reader in a document transport path in which the document is transported and transports the document to a reading position of the reader, and a controller which receives reading data of the reader and controls the transport roller, in which the controller receives the reading data from the reader to acquire a form of the document, and selects whether or not to stop driving of the transport roller based on the form.
Claims13
An image reading apparatus comprising:
- a first reader which is disposed on a first surface side of a document in a document transport path in which the document is transported and reads the first surface of the document;
- a second reader which is disposed on a second surface side of an opposite side from the first surface side and reads the second surface of the document which is positioned on a downstream side of the first reader in the document transport path;
- a transport roller which is provided on an upstream side of the first reader in the document transport path and transports the document to a reading position of the first reader and a reading position of the second reader;
- and
- a controller which receives reading data of the first reader and the second reader and controls the transport roller,
- wherein the controller receives the reading data from the first reader and the second reader to acquire a document width, and in a case in which a difference between a first document width which is acquired based on the reading data of the first reader and a second document width which is acquired based on the reading data of the second reader is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the controller performs a stopping process which stops driving of the transport roller.

- a first reader which is disposed on a first surface side of a document in a document transport path in which the document is transported and reads the first surface of the document;
- a second reader which is disposed on a second surface side of an opposite side from the first surface side and reads the second surface of the document which is positioned on a downstream side of the first reader in the document transport path;
- a transport roller which is provided on an upstream side of the first reader in the document transport path and transports the document to a reading position of the first reader and a reading position of the second reader;
- and
- a controller which receives reading data of the first reader and the second reader and controls the transport roller,
- wherein the controller acquires a distance X1 between an end portion of one side of the document and an end portion of one side of the first reader which is obtained based on the reading data of the first reader in a document width direction which is a direction which intersects a document transport direction,
- wherein the controller acquires a distance X2 between the end portion of one side of the document and an end portion of one side of the second reader which is obtained based on the reading data of the second reader in the document width direction when the document is transported by a transport amount corresponding to a disposition interval between the first reader and the second reader, and
- wherein in a case in which a difference between the distance X1 and the distance X2 exceeds a predetermined threshold, the controller stops driving of the transport roller.
