Publication number: 20110002016Abstract: It is an object to provide an image reading apparatus, an image reading method, and a program, in which in the case of reading both of a reflecting original and a transmitting original by one image reading apparatus, an average scanning time in the scan of a plurality of number of times can be shortened without increasing costs. In the image reading apparatus, whether the read original is the reflecting original or the transmitting original is discriminated based on a part of data read as a reflecting original by a reflecting original reading unit. If it is determined that the original is the transmitting original, the original is read as a transmitting original by a transmitting original reading unit. If it is determined that the original is the reflecting original, the data which has been read before is used.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2010Publication date: January 6, 2011Applicant: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Koichi Kuno
