Abstract: A scanner includes an apparatus main body, a stand, and a switching mechanism. The apparatus main body includes a transport unit that transports a document along a transport path, and a reading unit that reads an image of the document. The stand supports the apparatus main body. The switching mechanism switches the posture of the apparatus main body with respect to the stand so that the transport path extends along an intersecting direction intersecting an installation surface. The switching mechanism includes a switching motor that imparts a driving force to the apparatus main body when switching the posture. The switching motor is located inside the apparatus main body on the lower side of the transport path in the vertical direction.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a body support section, an apparatus body supported by the body support section, and a reading section configured to read a document. The apparatus body is configured to rotate about a rotation shaft with respect to the body support section and the apparatus body is rotated to be switched to a first position or a second position, a position of the center of gravity of the apparatus body is located at a position vertically above a shaft axis of the rotation shaft and closer than the shaft axis to an apparatus front in an apparatus depth direction when the apparatus body is in the first position, and is located at a position vertically above the shaft axis of the rotation shaft and closer than the shaft axis to an apparatus rear in the depth direction when the apparatus body is in the second position.

Abstract: Provided is an image reading apparatus including an apparatus main body including a reading portion that reads an image of a document being transported, and a main body supporting portion rotatably supporting the apparatus main body such that the apparatus main body is configured to take a plurality of postures, in which the apparatus main body includes at least one coupling portion to which a coupling target is coupled, and the coupling portion is provided on a side of the apparatus main body. The side intersects a rotation shaft line direction of the apparatus main body.

Abstract: An apparatus body of an image reading apparatus is turnably provided to a body supporting portion. The apparatus body is turned so as to be switchable between a first posture and a second posture that forms an angle between a reading transportation path and a mounting surface being smaller than the corresponding angle formed in the first posture. A transportation path switching unit couples the reading transportation path to a reverse transportation path when the apparatus body takes the first posture, and couples the reading transportation path to a non-reverse transportation path when the apparatus body takes the second posture.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a separating roller that is capable of switching between a separation state in which an original document is separated and a non-separation state in which the original document is not separated, and determines whether or not the original document is fed in the separation state or the non-separation state based on the types of the original document set through a user interface for instructing a select of the types of the original document to be read and a start of reading the original document.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a first posture detection unit that detects a first posture that is a posture of the apparatus main body when not in use, a second posture detection unit that detects a second posture that is a posture of the apparatus main body when in use, and a posture change detection unit that detects a change in a posture of the apparatus main body. When the first posture detection unit detects a switchover of the apparatus main body to the first posture in a first power supply mode in which power is supplied to the first posture detection unit, the second posture detection unit, and the posture change detection unit, the first power supply mode transitions to the second power supply mode in which a controller supplies power to only the posture change detection unit.

Abstract: A scanner is configured to include a rotating body at a bottom portion of an apparatus main body and to be switchable between a movable state in which the rotating body contacts an installation surface on which the apparatus main body is installed and the rotation of the rotating body enables the movement of the apparatus main body on the installation surface and an installation state in which a contact area of the bottom portion of the apparatus main body with respect to the installation surface is larger than the movable state and the apparatus main body is installed and used on the installation surface.
