Abstract: A carriage of an image reading apparatus includes a first lamp and a second lamp. A moving mechanism moves the carriage in a sub-scanning direction from a first side to a second side. The first lamp and the second lamp are arranged in a row in the sub-scanning direction. A control unit turns on any one of the first lamp and the second lamp during reading of one line. The control unit recognizes the position of a first-side edge based on first image data obtained when the first lamp is turned on. The control unit recognizes the position of a second-side edge based on second image data obtained when the second lamp is turned on. The control unit synthesizes the first image data and the second image data to generate job read image data.

Abstract: An image scanning unit optically scans a document image of a document. A transportation device performs transportation of the document set at a front insertion-ejection port as an insertion port and ejection port of the document. A controller performs in a first scanning mode image scanning of a top sheet of the document if the document has been bound with a staple. In the first scanning mode, the controller performs image scanning of a partial scanning area in the top sheet while transporting the document using the transportation device, and reverses a transportation direction of the document at a time point that the image scanning of the partial scanning area is finished. The partial scanning area is from a front end to a predetermined position of the top sheet, and the predetermined position is a position nearer to the front end than a binding position of the staple.

Abstract: A document checking apparatus includes an image scanning device, a printing device, an output tray, and a controller. The image scanning device is configured to scan a document image sheet by sheet from a document including plural sheets. The output tray is as an output destination of both the document outputted from the image scanning device and a print sheet outputted from the printing device. The controller is configured to perform checking of the document image, and if an error is detected in the checking of the document image, control the printing device and thereby insert the print sheet as an interleaving sheet immediately before or immediately after a sheet where the error is detected.
