Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a platen on which a document is to be placed, an image sensor configured to read an image of the document on the platen, an opening/closing member configured to cover and uncover the platen, a document pressing layer disposed on a surface of the opening/closing member and configured to press the document on the plate when the opening/closing member covers the platen, elastic layers located between the document pressing layer and the opening/closing member and spaced apart from each other on a surface of the document pressing layer, and connection layers connecting the elastic layers to the opening/closing member. An area of the elastic layer is larger than an area of the connection layer.

Abstract: A scanner includes a second glass member, a main body frame, a sheet member, a document transport unit, a reading unit, and a control unit. The sheet member is arranged on the second glass member. The document transport unit transports a document such that the document is brought into contact with the second glass member in a first position and the document is brought into contact with the second glass member in a second position. The reading unit reads the document in a third position between the first position and the second position, the third position in which the document is out of contact with the sheet member and the second glass member. The control unit identifies the third position in accordance with a position of the sheet member detected by the reading unit.

IPC: H04N1/00
Abstract: Provided is an image reading device including: a reading unit reading an image on a document; a carriage moving with the reading unit; a detector included in the carriage and having a predetermined width in a movement direction of the carriage; a detection sensor being in a detection state when the detector is located at a position where the detector faces the detection sensor and being in a non-detection state when the detector is located at a position where the detector does not face the detection sensor; and a control portion configured to perform a positional shift determination operation of determining a positional shift of the carriage, in which, as the positional shift determination operation, the control portion starts to move the carriage when the detection sensor is in the detection state and determines the positional shift of the carriage, based on a moving amount of the carriage.
