Reading apparatus, method of controlling reading apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program causing computer to control reading apparatus

A method of controlling a reading apparatus including

• a transparent member,
• a frame surrounding the transparent member,
• a plate-shaped member arranged on the transparent member,
• a transport unit transporting a document such that the document is brought into contact with the transparent member in a first position in a transport direction of the document and the document is brought into contact with the plate-shaped member in a second position in the transport direction,
• a reading unit that is provided with respect to the transparent member to be configured to move in a moving direction along the transport direction and that reads the document in a reading position, and
• a control unit controlling movement and reading operation of the reading unit, the method comprising:
• detecting a position of the plate-shaped member by reading the plate-shaped member while moving the reading unit;
• identifying, based on a detected position of the plate-shaped member, the reading position;
• and
• reading the document by the reading unit in the reading position that is identified.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program causing a computer to control a reading apparatus including

• a transparent member,
• a frame surrounding the transparent member,
• a plate-shaped member arranged on the transparent member,
• a transport unit transporting a document such that the document is brought into contact with the transparent member in a first position in a transport direction of the document and the document is brought into contact with the plate-shaped member in a second position in the transport direction,
• a reading unit that is provided with respect to the transparent member to be configured to move in a moving direction along the transport direction and that reads the document in a reading position, and
• a control unit controlling movement and reading operation of the reading unit,
• the program comprising:
• detecting a position of the plate-shaped member by reading the plate-shaped member while moving the reading unit;
• identifying, based on a detected position of the plate-shaped member, the reading position;
• and
• reading the document by the reading unit in the reading position that is identified.
