Abstract: In an image reading apparatus, a retreat control device moves a conveyance target through a conveyance mechanism, when a stop operation is performed by a stop control device, in an opposite direction to an image reading direction to a position further from a restart reference position set by a position setting unit. A reading control device again moves the conveyance target, which has been moved by the retreat control device, at a constant speed in the image reading direction under a predetermined condition; inputs a line start signal to a reading unit when an offset time set by a time setting unit has elapsed from a time point when the conveyance target reaches the restart reference position; and periodically inputs a line start signal to thereby cause the reading unit to perform a reading operation from a point; where the reading unit is located when the offset time has elapsed.

Abstract: The invention provides, as an aspect thereof, an document reading apparatus that includes: a speed calculating unit that calculates a speed related to the rotation of a motor on the basis of a signal that is outputted from an encoder; and a controlling unit that calculates control amount on the basis of the speed calculated by the speed calculating unit so as to control the rotation of the motor in accordance with the calculated control amount. In the configuration of an document reading apparatus according to this aspect of the invention, the above-mentioned controlling unit controls the motor with an increase in the control amount in a case where there occurs no change in the signal that is outputted from the encoder for a certain period of time. The increase in the control amount is based on the length of time that has elapsed since the last change in the signal.
