    摘要: An image reading apparatus includes a document table, a pressing plate that rotates about a rotation axis between an open position and a closed position, a line sensor that includes an image sensor arranged in a main scanning direction intersecting the rotation axis and outputs data by reading a document on the document table, and a control unit that determines presence or absence of the document based on first data acquired by the line sensor when the pressing plate is in an intermediate position before reaching the closed position and second data acquired by the line sensor when the pressing plate is in the closed position, wherein when the control unit determines the presence or absence of the document based on the first data and the second data, the control unit uses coefficient data that is smaller as a distance from the rotation axis is longer.

    摘要: An optical member includes a lens array including lens bodies, and transmissive members. The transmissive members are made of a material having a uniform refractive index, and are disposed at positions nearer an object-to-be-read than the corresponding lens bodies are disposed or at positions farther from the object-to-be-read than the corresponding lens bodies are disposed. The transmissive members have a columnar shape extending along the optical axes of the lens bodies, and allow light incident through one end faces to exit through the other end faces. At least either ones of the lens bodies or the transmissive members are arranged with distances therebetween larger than errors in the arrangement of the lens bodies and the transmissive members.

    摘要: There is provided a method of manufacturing an image sensor unit, the image sensor unit including: a linear light source that illuminates a document along a main scanning direction; a rod lens array that includes a plurality of rod lenses arranged in the main scanning direction and condenses a light reflected from the document; and a linear image sensor that receives a light condensed by the rod lens array. When a rod lens having an optically discontinuous portion on a surface and/or interior of the rod lens is included, the rod lens array is arranged such that the optically discontinuous portion is not located toward the document.

    摘要: An object of one embodiment of the present invention is to accurately derive an inclination of a line image sensor. One embodiment of the present invention is an image reading apparatus including: a line image sensor in which reading elements for reading an image are arrayed in a predetermined direction; a first derivation unit configured to, based on read data acquired by reading a chart on which a plurality of dot patterns is printed with the line image sensor, derive coordinates of each of the plurality of dot patterns; a second derivation unit configured to derive an inclination angle of the line image sensor based on the coordinates derived by the first derivation unit; and a first calculation unit configured to calculate a first correction value for correcting the inclination of the line image sensor based on the inclination angle derived by the second derivation unit.
