Abstract
An image reading apparatus includes a feeding roller that includes a first roller and a second roller provided at an interval in a width direction intersecting a medium feeding direction, and feeds a sheet from a placing section; and a skew detection section that detects skew of the sheet fed from the feeding roller. Skew is corrected by giving a difference between a rotation speed of the first roller and a rotation speed of the second roller with respect to at least one of the relevant sheet detected by the skew detection section and subsequent sheets fed following the relevant sheet based on a skew amount in the sheet.
Claims11
A medium feeding device comprising:
- a processing section that processes a medium;
- a feeding section that includes a first roller and a second roller provided at an interval in a width direction intersecting a medium feeding direction, and feeds the medium from a medium placing section on which the medium is placed toward the processing section;
- a skew detection section that detects skew of the medium fed from the feeding section;
- and
- a control section that controls an operation of the feeding section,
- wherein the control section is capable of executing skew correction control for correcting the skew with a difference between a rotation speed of the first roller and a rotation speed of the second roller with respect to at least one of a first medium detected by the skew detection section and subsequent media fed following the first medium based on a skew amount in the first medium.
