    Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a body and an auto document feeder. The body includes an exposure glass, a reader for reading an image of an original sheet through the exposure glass, and a guide disposed on the exposure glass and configured to support the original sheet. The auto document feeder is swingably moved between an open position and a closed position relative to the body and feeds the original sheet onto the exposure glass when situated at the closed position. The auto document feeder includes a press and a regulator. The press presses the original sheet onto the exposure glass. The regulator is mounted to the press and contacts the guide when the auto document feeder is situated at the closed position so as to form a slit between the exposure glass and the press. The slit is barely enough to allow the original sheet to pass therethrough.
