An image reading apparatus includes a transfer mechanism for successively transferring a plurality of document sheets along a transfer path, an instant-on type light source for irradiating each transferred document sheet with light, an image sensor for reading images of each transferred document sheet by detecting the light reflected therefrom, and a controller for turning on the light source while the image sensor is reading each transferred document sheet but for turning off the light source upon completion of reading each transferred document sheet.
